The growth of the national debt, if not stopped, will bankrupt the nation.

Okay, so you think the When the part is irrelevant. But in fact, you are wrong on saying this. Why? Because the When part is very important on this subject. It like you are saying, the nation will go broke soon in a year to 5 years. But in fact, you don't have proof of When or Where it going to happen. The nation could very well continue to drive up the national debt. Or this could stable itself out or could actually decrease the national debt within time. With the economy going well, and could even see the economy doing better in the years to come. So, it has the potential to decrease the national debt. You only dismiss the When part because it would ruin your whole case on why the nation would go bankrupt. This bankruptcy of the nation will take a lot longer than what you have claimed. It will not affect this generation as you have claimed. This process, of continually overspending what the nation actually put out, will take a long time. Just like global warming, it not going to really affect this generation. It will take another 30 to 50 years before it could really hurt us if what you said happens. One more thing you thinking nothing can change over time, and it will continue to get worst. But in fact, you don't actually have proof it will continue negatively over time with the national debt. You said this" Social security will no longer have a surplus to loan after 2033" for your second part of your Scenarios. "Social Security is fully funded until 2034, and after that it is about three-quarters financed. Considered alone, the DI Trust Fund is projected to become depleted sooner than the combined Social Security funds". (5.) Social Security is "the total cost is now about 5% of the national economy, or GDP. That will rise to about 6% when all of the baby boomers are retired. That increase, 1% of GDP, is less than the nation"s increase in spending for public education when baby boomers were children". (6.) There are two important factors in here, one is they the Government always have to renegotiate every 15 to 20 years to get the math right, because it always changing, not because it will help the nation go broke. the other thing is SSI is actually a small cost of the national economy. The third reason you list in your Scenarios is " New revenue sources will be unavailable" Why is this even true? The federal government collected revenues from all aspects, such as INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX, PAYROLL TAXES, CORPORATE INCOME TAX, FEDERAL EXCISE TAXES, "The federal government also collects revenue from estate and gift taxes, customs duties, earnings from the Federal Reserve System, and various fees and charges". (7.) "In fiscal year (FY) 2016[1] the federal government collected revenues of $3.3 trillion"about 17.8 percent of GDP. Over the past 50 years, federal revenue has averaged 17.4 percent of GDP, ranging from 20.0 percent (in 2000) to 14.6 percent (most recently in 2008 and 2009)". (8.) The sixth Scenarios you haven't said yet until the next round. But I will jump ahead and give my input on it. You think the nation might one day become Bankrupt. Um, that not going to be true at all at least not what you going to say about it nor the timing of this bankruptcy. let me give you a quote on why it won't. "The reason why it's not true is because we live in a fiat currency system, where the United States government can create an infinite number of dollars at no cost to meet its obligations. A Treasury bill is a promise that the government will give you US dollars--something that the United States government can produce infinitely and at no cost".(9.)
