Sure the national debt is now $14 trillion, but look at the bright side. What is the bright side?

I’ll throw one possibility out for starters. If not for US voters voting for free goodies and self-financing tax cuts for decade after decade; we might have thought Carl Sagan was actually talking about large numbers when he spoke of billions and billions of stars.

But certainly, when you are dealing with something as large as our National Debt, there has to be more than simply one bright point to ponder. There ought to be trillions and trillions of points of light. So let’s build a list. What bright side can you think of?
