Pyramid Schemes
Maybe I'm confused a bit, but my classical economics training says that chickens come home to roost?
In otherwords, if a nation spends 30+ years (because of a greedy/spoiled) 'me' generation sellling the cows to buy milk, at some point, the accounts need to be reconciled?

Best I can tell, the last honest guy in Washington DC finally gave up. Hopefully, with a new administration (2008), they will try to and square things up. Nonetheless, I have diminsihing faith in this process that we call 'democracy' as long as legal entities that have no voting rights are entitled to give huge amounts to candidate elections while common ciitizens are disallowed from doing the same.
Corporations are governmentally chartered entities. The courts have been clear in the past that their rights are limited, and also fully subject to governmental control. There is an abomination in this country that non-citizens are allowed to contribute to campaigns for the elections of officials that represent the public.
