It ends when the payment of the debt becomes so huge that the only thing that can be done is to either declare bankruptcy or kill EVERYBODY. At the risk of repeat - we are very close to actually spending more on paying down the debt than on our military or medicare.

Amongst other things this also means that virtually ALL campaign promises are lies and cannot be done. If the Dems do win they will, yet again, be tasked with trying to bail the nation out of yet another Republican financial disaster whilst not blaming them at all and actually allowing them (the Republicans) to claim that they are the party of fiscal responsibility. The horror is that everybody, including the Dems seem to actually believe that one.

If the Dems actually do try to fix it that will mean that they will be forced to raise taxes and that means the Dems will, yet again, get painted as the tax and spend party and they will do absolutely nothing in response to that canard.
