    It’s ironic. The Mainstream Media - including CPB / NPR - has been effectively silent as the federal debt has ballooned more and more. Ballooned to the point that the interest payments alone are over $1 trillion per year. $1T can buy 10 DoEs. $1T can buy even more CPBs.

    We are here because of us, not despite us.
