In the last U.S. election, the candidate who favored paying
down the debt was very nearly elected by his creditors,
the Social Security hordes {many of whom had already
perished, if various reports are to be believed.} It is in the
best interest of those voters to see the debtor government
survive, and in the best interest of the debtor government to
carry a large debt to the voters. So expect a continutation
of governments buying the next cool thing long before the
national debt is reduced. spike
