Anonymous Coward User ID: 45323704 United States 10/16/2013 03:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The U.S. debt, which has jumped 55 percent under President Obama, is now so high that if working Americans had to pay their full share, the bill would be over $123,000, according to a new Harvard University Institute of Politics study of the nation’s empty bank accounts. Quoting: * Cyndexia * [link to washingtonexaminer.com] I would pay it now if I wouldn't have to pay anymore taxes for the rest of my life. |

I see your point but we all know that the Gov would just figure out a way for us to pay more. . "Sometimes the object of the Journey may not be the end, but the Journey itself"..... |

Taxation without representation. Lobbyist over the people. Forced health insurance. Forced compliance into social security. I didn't agree to any of this debt nor am I seeing any improvement with the addition of debt. Not my debt government, your debt. I am a citizen, not your fucking credit card. |

With all the wars the US is fighting and spending billions of US tax dollars on foreign countries I really cannot see a way out of reducing it, the US cannot afford to spend the way it is spending, and also the way it is spending needs to be seriously looked at. |

Go to [link to www.gao.gov] Anybody with half a brain or just a rudimentary understanding of accounting can see directly from the whores' mouth (pun intended... you know... horses.' never mind, 'cause if I have to explain that...) $16+ trillion "debt," plus $38 trillion "social insurance liabilities in excess of projected income." There are other unfunded promises to pay as well. One economist recently estimated the hole in which our federal gument presently resides at $200 trillion... that's trillion with a "T," ya'll. Absolute no way in hell to get out without massive, and I mean MASSIVE debasement of the currency. (Can you say "Wiemar Republic?" |

Dirtyboy User ID: 48458145 United States 10/16/2013 04:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So I suppose I should get a part time job to help pay this off? How much debt is this per elected official? Federal government is broke. Most state governments are broke. Most local/city/county governments are broke. Surely they can spend more money on failed projects. Dirtyboy Think beyond impossible. |

The interest eventually kills you after you run a balance until you are enslaved to making payemnts that barely dent the principal. We should not owe interest to the FED for creating fiat "money" out of thin air. It is all a scam. Constitutionally the government should print their own debt-free money. |

It is debt incurred by the Federal Government of the United States. PERIOD. You, as an individual, have NO SHARE in that debt. Now the Constitution allows the Congress power to TAX to discharge that debt, but that is where it ends. |

This may be true ....TECHNICALLY SPEAKING.. but as a nation we ... are collectively in debt to foreigners who can choose to stop lending money to our nation. Remember, the Chinese, ( and other foreigners), buy our US Treasuries to support the purchasing power of the USA dollar. In order to coax them to continue to buy our debt bonds, the democrats have pushed legislation through which PLEDGES OUR NATIONAL FORESTS AND OTHER PUBLIC LANDS TO OUR CREDITORS AS COLLATERAL !!!! This is an outrageous and irresponsible travesty that we have permitted the wealth of of nation to be transferred to foreigners , impoverishing our grandchildren ...to enrich the lazy, the greedy, and the undeserving ! The ridiculously over-leveraged national deficit spending to GDP ratio... puts our nation at severe risk of currency collapse ....which when it occurs ....will ravage our nation with NO WARNING !!! The democrats and BHO will be regarded by historians as blind fools taking our nation's finances and stability over the edge of the cliff ! |
