I really don't know why more people haven't seen this, but it's like what someone said all everyones interested in is Justin Bieber. Everyone in the world should see this and it should be shown in US schools to educate young people, try the impossible task of getting us out of this mess on a global scale.

Ahh... I miss the good old days of the Bush administration when this video was made and the deficit was only $8.7T, not like Obama's current $13.7T.
I think the deficit is at such a size now it's just turned into an uncontrolable snow ball. I don't think the US can afford the interest payments any more as like you said with a total debt of almost $13T it'll just compound YoY, totally out of control.
It can be controlled but it will take some tough laws , laws that will revive the US economy . Right now a lot of the economy is overseas just for a little more profit also a lot of the jobs are outsourced despite the sky high unemployment . You can't have two cars in every garage and a turkey on each table in this conditions .
