We won't be able to pay for anything in 2040

Another thing in the governments financial statements that might interest you:

Go to page 3 and look at the chart with the appropriate name: "Current Trends are Not Sustainable". The government predicts that with our current spending habits (remember this is from 2007 so it does not include our hundreds of billions in bailouts) in 2040 the government will be able to pay for interest on the debt, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and NOTHING ELSE.

Does that not disturb anyone?
