"The Magnitude of the Mess We're In"

The Magnitude of the Mess We're In

The above editorial by George P. Schultz and other Hoover Institution fellows appeared in today's Wall Street Journal. It paints a dire picture indeed, both of our debt trajectory: nearly to $20 trillion within ten years. I'll be surprised if it doesn't go higher. A small increase in interest rates will make management of the debt virtually impossible.

Putting this column together with Bob Woodward's new book, The Price of Politics, which shows a White House that is unable to craft political solutions to the crisis, and our future looks bleak indeed.
