[the insanity  of trying to "inflate away" $1T - $4T in federal-debt]

As if anything we can do, collectively or individually, could change the
macro-economic-implosion occuring now -- which is what the combined Federal, 
State, Local, Business, and Personal Debt actually is. BH your portentious
economic-apocalypse is happening. All that remains is figuring out how to 
pick up the pieces and go on, as a people and maybe (though doubtful) as a 
nation called America, if not an economic-super-power. 

It's not like any of us could have stopped the meltdown of the US economic
engines following the sudden cessation of 50 years of hot and cold war. It
would've been like pushing on the ground trying to stop the earth spinning 
on its axis. Nor can all the bankers, bureaucrats, academics and media pundits
disguise or delay what's happening. So "Voila!" In one fell swoop the insanity
of giving personal taxes, time, worry, and blood to a super-power-war-machine,
has become a non-motivator -- simply useless. 

Good thing too. The social, famial, and personal =costs= were all clearly 
evident in the distintegration of our well-being {crime, drugs, waste,
alienation, and callousness...} during the decades of public contempt(50s), 
public hedonism(60s), public selfishness(70s) and public greed(80s). Unless
of course you were one of those blinded by hate, lust, pride, or arrogance
to your neighbors.

And no nation dedicated to military might could long survive the constant 
stress and drain (sturm und drang) of unceasing overpreparedness. Nor can 
the current futile attempt to become the protector and caretaker (policeman 
and socialworker) of =The World=, begin to refuel the effort and sacrifice 
needed to <... quietly reverential voice > "SUSTAIN-ECONOMIC-GROWTH." Or
in the old times they would say "TO-WORSHIP-MAMMON." Be it War-God or 
Money-God, bleeding for idols *is* too much to ask -- a non-motivator.

So no one other than -*GOD*- can save us now, economically or otherwise.
Without a spiritual renewal, all our efforts will be like trying to breath 
life into a corpse. In a nation where it's ok to express your private sex-
uality in public, how much more then should one express their personal spirit-
uality likewise? Anywhere and anytime. Personally.

So this is the way out, the only way -- through GOD. Not because you want 
yourself saved (shallow self-preservation) -- but because you want to truly
know and love GOD. The overflowing of such will set all else right. The offer 
still remains, all that's needed is to accept it. The alternative is to coldy 
turn away, and walk into the pit of destruction. That's just the way it works.

So let's bury the ghost of America. And turn to welcome the birth of the 
nation of NEW-ISRAEL in our land. A nation chosen by GOD and saved by GOD.
Not because there is any mystical entity which can be called "a nation,"
but because we each more than any other people, enjoy a personal relation-
ship with Our Creator -- One-to-One. Amen.
