It is just to be paid at a future date. Yet, because the curve is now steepening--remember that I just showed you some charts that says we may double U.S. debt this decade. The curve is like this. You don't think we are not going to reach in and take some of your retirement? This is no longer about your grandkids. It is no longer about your kids. It is you, Mr. Speaker. Yet, I believe the political classes lied their backsides off for so long, or we play this game. You will see some people on social media: You could save a million dollars doing this. Okay. You borrow $250 million an hour.
