"It's a matter of arithmetic."

Folks - don't like the math lately? Neither does our nation's chief comptroller - the head of the Congressional Budget Office named Douglas Elmendorf. He picks up where outspoken David Walker left off. We give thanks for these guys! They are trying to get us off the path we are on! Here's what he said last week:

"U.S. fiscal policy is unsustainable, and unsustainable to an extent that it can't be solved through minor changes". "It's a matter of arithmetic."

I like my math better, which I have mentioned before. I stack a small gold coin here, I stack a rare gold coin there. I stack some peace silver dollars here, I stack some rare gold coins there. That's arithmetic for today's wacky fiscal spending! Demand gold!
