So if the economy slows down and gets worse as entitlement money grows, what hope is there to bring down the national debt? Maybe "compassionate" stuff like federal funding of Special Olympics are a tipping point? Sarc.
But, maybe, if Uncle Sam left compassion to be practiced by the people and stuck to its constitutionally prescribed limitations, the debt could eventually be reduced instead of growing beyond the ability to be paid.
