Is It Too Late To Attempt To Save the US From Financial Ruin?
It is the view of the Editor that even if one were to eliminate all of the ineffective programs of the government, however defined, one would not come close to solving the continued problem of deficit spending because of the presence of the “giveth” programs.

We will leave it to each of our readers to make their own decision regarding the feasibility of using the bitcoin as a solution to our fiscal problems. However regarding the basic position set forth by Mr. Musk that the US is headed for bankruptcy we are in complete agreement. Furthermore we are equally concerned as to whether there is a solution to the problem. In a nutshell the procedures that govern the operations of the House and Senate reward those that sponsor spending funds and punish those that move to restrict spending. Consequently there is an informed basis for concluding that there is no lasting solution to the problem, as demonstrated by the continuous increase in the deficit, unless serious attention is given to the restructuring of the debt.
