It doesn't vanish, here's where it goes... after various state and
federal agencies (that exist soley for the purpose of wealth
re-distribution and nothing else) skim the cream off the top to
pay for their salaries, benefits and union dues, the remaining
money is handed out to people who have not earned in order to
by their vote.

That's the American way.

Alexis deToqueville wrote in the early 1800's that the American republic
will endure until its politicians discover they can bribe the people with
their own money.

And to think, just a few years ago we had a chance to pay it all off,
or at least greately reduce it when we had the money. Instead the
politicians wanted to give the excess money back to the people who of
course all agreed, or most did. So now today we have a debt that has
grown to over 8 trillion with an interest payment larger than the GNP
of many nations.

The first rule of finanance is to get rid of any debts as soon as
possible. Nothing costs more than money you already own unless of
course if the money you owe is making more money for you than it would
were it paid off. IE the money, unlike the national debt, is earning
money for you even after interest.
