DE - Good fit. How about trying a logarithmic curve based on the 'compound interest' equation with a rate of 9%. Should also yield aprox the same shape and fit, with a 'real world' feel for the curve.

(Based on my observed 8 year doubling period, and the rule of 72.)

Just if'n youse in the mood to play with numbers a bit, and feel the urge. *s*

Re: “In 6 years the debt service will be bigger than the budget. Which is insane.”
A while back I decided to see if I could come up with the "curve of best fit" for the National Debt.
I found the debt graph below, then laid the lower-right arc of a large ellipse on top of it. (It's the red line.) I was surprised by how well it fit.

When you look at it, keep in mind that the debt has been on this curve for sixty-five years. I see no reason why it should deviate from it today. Not long-term, anyway.

Then think about the implications of where that red line is heading ... and when.

BTW, I eyeballed things, and the lines are fat, so I think I could be off by up to two years. But not more than that.
