At some point debt will effect one's American life and liberty. Originally Posted by WTFWell you do have a point. Debt is a form of slavery and Americas economy is based on debt.

I'm one of the few that wish all were subject tp mandatory Military service and guns were easier to obtain. If you're not in prison, you are eligible to vote and possess a firearm.

Take Israel for instance they require mandatory a minimum of two years Military service for both men and women. A tiny strip of land inhabited by eight million people surrounded by enemies and the threat of conflict is always hanging in the balance. One reason why America isn't constantly being invaded by hostile foes is not only do we have a strong Military but our citizens are armed.
Personally I think the debt both current and future are our biggest threats. Originally Posted by WTF

Some will argue that Mexico is invading us as we speak!

Most empires rot from within when trying to do so. We will be no different if we keep spending more on occupations than we take in. Originally Posted by WTF

Why we spend so damn much on the last six months of our elderly's life is stupid unless you are in the old age health care business.
