Oh I agree completely--right now, the payment on the interest on the debt (not the principlal) is mathematically impossible for us to pay back, even if we devoted our entire annual GDP to the effort.

In other words, the only way we can continue is to print money (and suffer through the issues that will result).

Yet the true cause of our current problem is politicians who continued to spend, even when there was no way to pay for the "benefits"...
