Does your debt own you? Apparently your government does.Like any other average American family, we have months that are financially tighter than others. When that happens, we adjust our spending and change our habits to fit our budget. Its called living within our means and this simple and effective concept has been time tested and passed down from generation to generation. Our grandparents taught our parents. Our parents, in turn, taught their children. We will pass along this gem to our kids and so on.
If living within your means is a guaranteed success, why is our government telling us that in order to move beyond our country's current financial "crisis" we must spend beyond our means?? Since when did monumental, decades-deep debt ever help anyone overcome financial obstacles??? The truth is that trillion-dollar debt will not create jobs and stimulate the economy--it will create a larger government and whenever government grows, your individual liberties and choices diminish.
So while we're struggling to instill the principles of living with your means in our families and in our children so that we don't become slaves to our debt, our government is abusing their power and our trust by building up a national debt so colossal that we will be slaves to our government for decades. I can't answer for anyone else, but this is not what I voted for.
We DON'T work for government!
Government works for US!
