Admirable, Desirable -- Not Payable

If 1 apple costs 1 thaler and you get 2 thalers every week, but every week you buy not 2 but 4 apples since you think you can pay them later, the outcome of the calculation suddenly does not appear as strange anymore.

The yearly GDP of the US is 14.3 trillion
+
the current debt is 10.x trillion, rising
=
the US effectively is bankrupt.

It can only live on by living on tick. and there you are at the thing with the thalers and apples again. If one apples costs 1 thaler, and you only have 2 thalers but always buy 3 apples and say you want to pay for 1 more apple of the past you took but have not payed for, then... Bed-story's over, good night, my children...

The situation does not leave much space to any president for creative reforming of the US, no matter his name and party. you must stop buying 4 apples and buy just 2, and of these 2 you buy just 1, and spend the other thaler for one of the unpayed apples of the past. suddenly, you do not have 4 apples per week, but just 1.
