Both questions are irrelevant to the point I made. If the increased debt due to trust fund investments is considered, the cash accounts also need to be considered, as well. It doesn't matter whether the cash is earning more or less interest than the bonds. Considering both will show the real story. Considering only the increased public debt or only the cash accounts will not. Both do need to be considered. Let's assume the gov't has $10 millon. By investing it, they can make a 5% return or $500,000 But this takes that $10 million out of "use" for expenses. So rather than use that money they borrow $10 million at a 6% rate to pay for those expenses. They've now lost $100,000. Multiply that by the billions and trillions and those losses build up quick. Imagine more disparity in the loan vs. investment return rates especially with market fluctuations and that number gets bigger even faster. The other issue is that same $10 million (and all the rest) may be used multiple time for loans, making politicians think they have more available than they really do whereas if it was actually "used" there would be no illusion that it was available. It's this sort of "smoke and mirrors" accounting that is killing not only the government but many other companies too.

I'm not overlooking interest at all. Interest is included in the public debt, which is already being considered. There's no need to count it twice. What is the APR earned on holding this $$$? What is the APR charged on borrowing it? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Simply that considering the increased debt due to the trust fund without considering the corresponding cash accounts doesn't offer a realistic picture, since the revenue going into the trust fund is required by law to be invested in government bonds, which increases the public debt, but doesn't necessarily decrease the net value of the government's assets. For example, if you (general you, not specific you) borrow $10,000, but you put those funds in a bank account instead of spending them, is it fair to consider your net worth reduced by $10,000 because your debt increased by $10,000? You're forgetting a key factor: Interest. Unless the interest you can earn on the money is more then the interest you pay to borrow the money, you're still losing money. If losing money, why borrow in the first place if you already have it? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

It's everywhere. Wherever there are secrets, it'll be there. Whenever people try to hide things, it'll be there. Whenever people don't want to own up to their actions, it'll be there. Whenever people think they have to act a certain way for people to like them, it'll be there. Whenever people do or say things just for attention, it will be there. Wherever people can't or won't explain (not justify) their actions/inactions, it'll be there. While the cure for drama is simple, experienced based logic and "This is who I am and what I do, I'm happy with it, and if you don't like it fuck off" some can't seem to handle that. The most ironic part of it all is that if the people just did or said whatever, most wouldn't care one way or another. It's the sneaking around and secret BS that creates it all. But OTOH, for those on the outside it can be fun to watch.

I aplogize as my info is not current. I'm currently jumping 2 150's (Sabre and Stiletto as after my last chop I lost my 135) My jump numbers are probably also closer to 1100 as well as I haven't dowloaded my audible in a bit. That being said, when they calculate these sort of max recommendations they take guys like you (super current, high #'s a year, possibly many hop n pops) much more into account than they do me. So if your jump #'s are accurate, you'd be .2 over the recommended maximum wingloading for your jump #'s. Here's the really scary one: You're about .3 over the maximum wingloading for that size canopy. This is regardless of jump #'s currency, etc. This also means that either PD test jumped it at this wing loading and didn't find the flight characteristics acceptable or didn't bother testing that high. More likely the first scenario though. This makes you a test pilot. It's obviously your decision. Just making sure you fully understand and accept the much greater risks you're taking by flying this configuration which other have already said is not conducive to good swoops or maybe even technique. If you have a significant other, family, and/or kids then additionally definitely understand how the additional risks you are taking effect them.

Sometimes I wish there was a way to filter away these "less constructive" replys If he's going to load his canopy .2 beyond generally accepted limits for the number of the jumps the OP reports to have and exceed the maunfacturers max recommended wing loading... I'll agree there are other ways to say it, but it still needed to be said and in general isn't listened to anyways.

3 main ways to reduce debt: * New revenue streams - Nope, drugs and prostitution are still illegal and we're spending billions to fight them. * Cut costs - Nope no big cuts here, still expanding. Still giving billions to other countries. * Raise taxes - Well since we're not doing the other two... But even if taxes are raised, it's not going to be enough to really make a dent in paying down the defecit.
