Letter from Waldo Johnston

The Poetry of Our National Debt

Consider the math. If we reimburse our treasury at the rate of $186,000.00 per second, the speed of light, it will take more than six years to reduce our current $36 trillion debt to zero.

With our 36 trillion-dollar debt growing
And our 6 billion-dollar daily fees never slowing,
We can postpone foreclosure
By reducing exposure
Or cringe as we keep over-owing.
