Excerpt from this article:
"But on every business day of June--as on every business day for the last 15 straight weeks--the Treasury reported that the federal debt subject to the legal limit set by Congress closed the day at $18,112,975,000,000."

Here is how one writer put it:
"You know...if I had to borrow 40% of the money I need to pay my bills every month, I'd be fairly alarmed. When you come up a few bucks short at the end of the month for necessary bills, you can cut back: get rid of the cell phone, stop eating out, whatever. But when your monthly nut is routinely running to almost twice what you can pay, you're kind of out of options. It's probably time to re-examine your resistance to sleeping outdoors and pooping outdoors, and...well, doing everything else outdoors, because outdoors is where you're going to be living before long."

Talk show host and constitutional scholar Mark Levin has said:
"You should view these politicians with the deepest contempt you can possibly imagine. What they are doing to this country, what they are doing to our finances - there is not a criminal in any federal prison, state prison, city or county jail with respect to financial crimes of any sort who collectively could have done the kind of damage that Barack Obama and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and yes, willing, timid, gutless Republicans have done to this country! To your future, to your children and your grandchildren. What they are doing is with malice and with forethought." (emphasis mine) (source)
Someone once wrote:
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discover it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship and then a monarchy." (Source)
Sarah Palin has said that America will eventually default on its debt and claims
that the federal government is “stockpiling bullets in case of civil
unrest'” ... (Sarah Palin: Feds Stockpiling Bullets to Use Against Us - politico.com)
