Here is a good article from a link listed below that chart. Thanks for the chart. That puts it in perspective. I also think Stockman (from the article I link here) has it all pretty much right in the way he lays out the problems except he still is a big government guy and looks to more big government to solve the problem. I part company with him there, but he still is one of the few voices of reason in the wilderness of fiscal policy of today. Anyone that actually points out the real problem or makes any suggestion to fix them is referred to as a "radical" and completely dismissed.

It is going to take a complete blow up and reset before there is any real attempt to fix the problem.

The main questions now are "when" is it going to happen and "what form" will it take? Knowing those answers is what it takes to be inflicted with the least damage from the fallout and possibly even gaining from it.
