RE: No way out of national Bankruptcy. People want their entitlements

Some realism here. You have to measure debt as a percentage of GDP to have a good perspective.

This is the chart of US govt dept as a percentage of economic production (GDP):

The loans have such low interest rates right now (close to 0%) that this high debt is costing hardly anything.

Japan has around 200% debt to GDP - there we are talking real problems.
