I have recently been in deep thought about the economy and the recession which we are in today. Then I had a sort of "moment of realization"... We, the American citizens, could very well be lured into paying unnessacary debts.

Think about it my friends, every single day there are people being pulled over while driving, laid off, taxed, hospitalized, going into debt basically.. But why?

Is it really costing the American people millions of dollars a day (across the country) just to be submerged into worse financial circumstances? Maybe it is, but then again, maybe not.

Our country is in debt... There are an unknown number of countries which we owe money to, and there is an unknown number that is our country's debt. Think about how mant traffic tickets, eviction notices, forclosures, taxes, hospital bills, etc, are being issued every day. Who ultimatly gets this money? Not the police man who pulled you over, not your landlord, not the bank president, they all pay taxes too.

Consider this possibility, China, one of the dozens of countrys we are in debt to, stops importing/exporting with us. Our country will basically crumble...

I'll cut straight to the chase from here. It is my theroy that our country is currently being held hostage, by our debts. I believe that we are paying so many taxes and what not, just to send it to another country (one of which could possibly be housing our enemys)... So who is killing the country, the forigners, or are we doing it ourselves by placing our hard earned money into the hands of another country?

Please post any and all thoughts and/or comments below

Your correct, in that every tax dollar collected goes to pay the interest on our national debt, not the debt itself. So, it is a no win situation as far as I can see it. Our government has to borrow the money to keep the country running everyday. So all of those bills our Congress passes, all of the pork that is added to them, all of the money that the states get from the government, the SS benefits and medicare money has to be borrowed from the Fed to be paid out each week. And we will never be able to pay it all back in just one lifetime. This is something for all to ponder.

Well, what does that tell you about the mind set of those working in our government, those who are looking for a quick fix for all the money problems we are having? The Fed is done printing money, they can`t borrow it fast enough, so where are they looking for what little money there is left that they can give their buddies in the banking industry? Our little retirement savings.

As far as my feeling about her or others that come up with this garbage? A good old fasioned tar and feathering comes to mind.

It`s like i`ve said before, they want every dime that is out there, they want control of it so they can finish off the fall of the dollar. Then they can start a new money system of their choice, and we will have no say in it.
