Demand that your elected leaders do better: Demand that they leave you alone. Demand that they adhere to respecting your personal liberty and uphold the U.S. Constitution.

I do demand they do better. It’s not by leaving me alone, though, it’s by forming a better regulatory structure to stop the side-effects of unrestrained capitalism.

Assume that interest rates return to historic norms of 4% - 6% percent (the 10-year U.S. Treasury average is 5.41% over 25 years) and that the Federal debt of about $16 trillion remains outstanding and that we’ve got somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 trillion of unfunded liabilities.

You see, it’s phrases like ‘X of unfunded liabilities’ that show you don’t actually know what you’re talking about.

Unfunded liabilities over what time period? It’s a meaningless statement without that metric.
