"If present trends continue, by 2040 the entire federal budget will be consumed by Social Security and Medicare alone. The only options for balancing the budget would be cutting total federal spending by about 60%, or doubling federal taxes. To close the long-term entitlement gap, the U.S. economy would have to grow by double digits every year for the next 75 years.

The answer to these critical financial realities is simple, but not easy: We must rethink the very role of government in our society. Anything less, any tinkering or "reform," won't cut it."

U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker resigned and became president of the Peter G Peterson Foundation.

  • Let's hope everyone can move to Canada or other industrialized countries & have a better life there. That's what i'm going to do someday.

  • What does any of this have to do with Brad Pitt's next movie? Or Britney's next crotch shot? Ignore what this guy has to say and drink more alcohol, smoke more cigarettes, watch more tv, go to more sporting events and listen to more rap.

    With love for the future of my family,

  • @dgendvil Canada sux, don't be fooled by the propaganda. The french are wussies, the land is a cold desert, taxes are heavy, internet is limited, ect.

  • It would take just one of what I am talking about to make a noticable influence to the city surrounding it, to even outside of it. It will provide jobs, reduce strain on healthcare, reduce demand at grocery stores, improve the education system, improve congested roads, reduce urban sprawl, and the list goes on.. It will take a lot of money, but at least this is a worthy investment to pay back in the future rather than wars which is completely lost money.

  • We don't have the infrastructure to support a currencyless city, state or nation. It takes the building of a new foundation to support such a system because you cannot expect everyone to get on board just like that, so the best alternative is to offer an addon-system. This addon-system is not for anyone. It has a lot of benefits but like anything worthy, humans will have to work to achieve it.

  • WE ARE BROK AS A NATION $53 TRILLION IN DEBT and RISING! WE MUST ACT NOW TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY.. The whole world needs to act and it needs to transition away from currency. It's going to take some time to relocate lots of jobs, but there is a way to create massive amounts of good jobs to benefit humanity in the distant future, but people need to have initiative to make it happen, and it's going to take a lot of money to make it happen initially, to eventually get rid of currency.

  • @dgendvil Canada may be in better condition but if all hell breaks loose in the USA our government would gladly assist you americans, at the sake of our own economy. That's just how nice we are.

  • To close the long-term entitlement gap, the U.S. economy would have to grow by double digits every year for the next 75 years. Answer: With the current system your leaders want to continue. Think outside the box.

  • That is just it. Stop paying interest to the God damn bankers. Better yet tell the bankers to get fucked, and tax the shit out of them. That will fix their red wagon.

  • The US government treats serial killers like David Berkowitz, the Green River Killer, BTK, and other serial killers better than hard working tax payers. These people contribute nothing to the economy and yes have free healthcare and free college educations while hard working tax payers or ripped off, lose jobs, homes and healthcare. The government treats hard working tax payers as nothing more than cash cows. The healthcare system has failed while the greedy got rich off of sick people.

  • top 1% of the nation controls more assets than the bottom 95% combined... These people are good at what they do...

  • The ruling elite passed NAFTA while American's partied . They SOLD our jobs overseas to naitions that work for an 1/8 of what American's that held those jobs made. They took our industry out of America to further suck money into their coffers with total disregard of the American people....and America slept right through it all...who's to blame ? Foreigners ?

    NO HELL NO -WE ARE ! ..we slept through the theft of our nation.

    The blame is ours ! We're not children -take responsibility !
