EXPONENTIAL VS. LINEAR THINKING is a powerful way to understand why the U.S. national debt has become such a dangerous crisis, and why citizens like you and I should be deeply alarmed about Congress' insane spending habits, which has, since at least 1980, been funded, not by tax increases (therefore undemocratically), but by endless, unaccountable borrowing by Congress of an unredeemable, unbacked fiat currency that's controlled by the privately-owned central banking cartel known as the U.S. Federal Reserve System, which by the way, earns interest on every worthless, unbacked, unredeemable, therefore counterfeit, dollar that it doesn't even bother to print [much] anymore, and pretends to lend to the U.S. government.

This looting of the American people has been going on since 1933, when FDR took the U.S. Dollar off the Gold Standard (domestically), and most certainly, since 1971, when Nixon took us, and therefore the entire world, off the Gold Standard completely after our senseless war in Vietnam.

LINEAR THINKING says, "It's just a bigger number — we'll grow out of it like always."

EXPONENTIAL REALITY screams: The curve is bending vertical, folks. Deficits aren't shrinking; they're structural and they're worsening. Without drastic cuts to Congressional spending, entitlement reform, and fiscal discipline, the system will continue to head toward a breaking point--currency devaluation, higher taxes, austerity, or worse. We should be VERY CONCERNED--this isn't sustainable. The debt isn't "someone else's problem"; it's theft from your future prosperity, enabled by a fiat money cartel that a spendthrift Congress refuses to rein in.

True patriots demand balanced budgets, sound money, and accountability before this exponential bomb detonates. Wake up, America--the numbers don't lie.
