It's sailing towards America at a speed of 2 cm/year, so watch out 'Muricans!

PS Here is a link to an audit performed of the Federal Reserve. In addition to the $17 trillion of public debt the Fed has printed another $16.3 trillion "off book" and lent it to big firms, banks, etc around the world. All of this is printed debt, not backed by bonds, etc., other than the funny bonds the Feds issue then buy themselves. So, double Americas debt. And the formulas that reflect the "off book" debt it is likely up to around $20 trillion now, putting total US debt around $37 trillion. Or so it would appear.

Ah, I see what the OP is saying. The rest of us are better pilots who need much less deck to land on.

I think this is profound and true, well stated OP.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
