That means everyone's taxes will have to go up and not just a little either.

Really?  Hum, and here all this time I thought the national debt was generated by spending the government does for things like, oh say, government spending which includes those nice things like health care, the military salaries, school funding, medicaid, government workers, you know, things of that nature which we pay our taxes for.  Now if it isn't generated by those costs just what causes the national debt and why are we paying taxes?
