National Debt Too High, Silver Price Too Low

Silver currently sells around $16, which would be sensible if the U. S. national debt was much less than its current $20 trillion.
Given the massive national debt and 100 years of experience, silver prices could easily be double or triple their current prices, and far higher in a panic.
WHY?
Examine over a century of official national debt data graphed on a log scale. Official debt in 1913 was $3 billion. Since then it has risen 8% to 9% every year to reach $20 trillion or $20,000 billion. Debt will continue rising as long as politicians spend and bankers lend.
Proof: Name the Senators, Representatives, Presidents, military contractors, pharmaceutical companies, and Medicare recipients who wish to see the government reduce expenses.
