  11. Actually, isn't it a wee late to even start trying to pay off a $500-trillion
  12. debt in just two years? It will take at least that long for us to fight over
  13. whose taxes to raise and whose subsidies to cut!
  14.  
  15. How about just letting the whole system collapse and see what rises out
  16. of the ashes?  There's a buck to be made in any economic situation, even
  17. national economic/social disintegration!
  18.  
  19. Besides, American democracy can't possibly survive anyway. Our problems
  20. are too overwhelming; our people too ill-educated, nonproductive,
  21. dependent, and apathetic; our government too corrupt and self-serving.
  22.  
  23. Okay, call me an optimist!
