Debt: It Just Keeps Going Up!

The total debt keeps rising with no end in sight. The above is through Q3 2016. Most likely we are well above $20 trillion.

Finally the above are the Quarterly annualized increases. This is well ahead of any GDP changes. The blame is on Medicare and Social Security. But frankly many of us paid into and continue to pay into a system whose returns to us are negative to say the least. Where is the money going folks!
