"This is going to be one of the worst economic downturns since the Great Depression."
--Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz, April 25, 2008" 

"We're clearly on an imprudent and unsustainable fiscal path. Our current liabilities and unfunded commitments as of the end of the last fiscal year amounted to over $43 trillion, up to $13 trillion in one year alone."
--David Walker, U.S. Comptroller General (April 11, 2005)

"...the U.S. government is, indeed, bankrupt, insofar as it will be unable to pay its creditors, who, in this context, are current and future generations to whom it has explicitly or implicitly promised future net payments of various kinds..." 
--Professor L. Kotlikoff, for the U. S. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. (July, 2006)

"Ignorance Is Expensive" -- Erik Epp
