With federal debt at 66 year high, there's a problem

Politicians, regardless of label, seem to kick the can down the road. They spend their money on their friends ("necessary infrastructure", "critical defense spending", "defending social security", etc.). The bill to pay goes to grade school kids.

Three things struck me:

1) The persistence of C. Looks like it will remain "the glue" between the machine and "higher level" operations for the next decade and beyond. It's strong niche in the "must be fast as possible and still portable" arena helps, too.

2) The rise of Python.

3) The decline of VB.
