Funny and True!!!!
I heard it said that it would actually be bad for our government to pay off our Debt. I do not understand why, or if there is any truth to it. Can you think of a reason where it would be bad to get rid of all our national debt?
Use some common sense about this whole thing.
Do politicians lie? Yes.
Do politicians do things make themselves look better - especially if it is with somebody elses' money? Yes.
Is having debt generally a bad idea for you as a person? Yes.
Would you or I be able to get away with the excuse that paying off our debt is a bad idea? No.
Then why would you believe somebody who says it is bad to have the govt pay off our national debt? Remember who is telling you this - politicians, they lie.
Look at other countries - do they maintain huge amounts of debt like we do? Look at history - what has happened to people, companies, and nations who could not repay their debts?
Do the math - let me know if you still think it is good thing to have so much debt that each American citizen now owes something like $160,000 as his/her portion of the national debt.
