Thank you, Mr. Dodge, for being here.
I have a very simple question. I want to go back to our national debt, which stands at about $486 billion, and to service that debt, $31 billion. I would like you to address that. What are the implications, and are we on the right target? The way I understand it, it must be debt to equity ratio, where we want to get to about 25% or something. I think that's the stated government goal. Is that something that's safe, or are we headed toward disaster with that high debt?
Then quickly, if you could, touch on the fact that the American debt is so much more than that, and should they ever come to a situation where.... Are we going to see spiralling inflation?
