When will we repay our national debt? The fact that we've stopped asking that question reveals something about us, doesn't it? And what we really think about our shared future? While we wonder if balancing our books is even possible, the meter keeps running — $40 trillion and counting.

Dan and Del dig into the math and the morality of this deep hole we've dug. What got us here, and is there any way out? Of course, this isn't just Washington's problem. We the People elected the spenders, cheered the programs, and quietly agreed not to think about the tab.

This episode is part of Season 1: American Future — and this topic matters immensely to that. We have to face this multi-trillion dollar monster someday. How about right now? Climbing out will take more than higher taxes and lower spending; it will take a transformation of national character, beginning with us, personally. So grab your calculator, roll up your sleeves, and let's get into it.
