snip lots of good stuff

Your data appears to be correct and logically leads to the
most unfortunate conclusions for the average American
citizen and creditor.

I would however suggest a parallel explication (with the
same outcomes), namely nations, like people, political
parties, and corporations have finite life spans. What
appears to be unusual is the speed with which the
end-of-life developments, equivalent to senescence,
obsessions, paranoia, and Alzheimer's in an elderly
individual, have occurred.
