That's 500B not 500M. Scary that 500B is no longer considered massive.

We're over $20 trillion in the hole. This is no longer the elephant in the room, it's a herd of stampeding elephants and the U.S. taxpayer is a gnat hanging on to their dingleberries for dear life.

Social Security and Medicare are going broke and the federal budget/deficit is getting bigger.

There is no political will from either party to seriously address this, and it's rarely even discussed except as a weapon each party tries to use against the other.

How do you guys see this going? Will this be addressed before it's too late? If not, what will life look like after it's too late?

I truly believe that we are at the stage where no one is going to tackle this issue until it is painfully obvious it is causing immediate problems. At which point it will be a dire problem and too late. Among the politicians and the public there is no appetite for short term pain for long term gain. Which is why we won't deal with global warming either.

Moral of the story: quit believing those (the 1%) who always say that increased growth will offset tax cuts.

Except that we aren't (Correction, wealthy people are living longer, poor people are dying younger):
