The United States is Broke

“Well, Eric, I guess I would start out with my fundamental conclusion about the financial system in the world. It’s obvious to me that the U.S. government is broke. That’s the easiest calculation in the world to make…

That’s what I fear is going to happen in the U.S. — that we keep delaying, and delaying the obvious, and then someday there is going to be something that happens, and of course the cuts that people with have to exist with in Medicare, social security, government pension checks, will be way bigger than it had to be because nobody did anything about it in the meantime.”
