Our great national tragedy:
"Today, most U.S. counties depend on a level of government transfer income that was once reserved only for the most distressed places. In 1970, not even 1 percent of counties derived a quarter or more of their total personal income from transfers. In 2000, just 10.4 percent did.

Debt is growing 2–3× faster than the economy.
You don’t grow your way out of debt when the debt is outrunning growth every single year.
It’s not looking good.
