Was pointed out somewhere, that if the U.S. suddenly started running a trillion dollar surplus, and used that exclusively to pay off debt, it would still take 40 years, on top of interest payments. When is that gonna happen?

The thing I see is that the public is going to get it's stomach full of "bailout" payments to farmers, who are already some of the highest net worth individuals in a lot of communities. If that gravy train stops, the wheels come off. 



It would take a hell of alot longer than 40 years! The debt service alone is roughly a trillion, won't touch the principle.
