“Dems to lift debt ceiling by $1.8 trillion: http://bit.ly/6Xhykh ”

IF Sen. Evan Bayh is truly a “deficit hawk”; IF Sen. Evan Bayh TRULY cares about Indiana; then he will FIGHT tooth and nail against this measure to increase the debt ceiling. If not for our current opinions on insolvency or independence from foreign debt, then FIGHT to free future generations from the SLAVERY of owing people we don’t even know let alone our hesitance in liking them (like China – you know – the country where they run over students with tanks and imprison people of faith).

Think about when you owe someone, particularly when they have alterior motives to lending you money. How do they treat you? How do they hustle you, all the while you can’t be sure if they really want you to pay them back in full, because they’ll still have something on you, to call you on. “Oh, you don’t feel the same way about doing something for me? Hey, don’t you owe me some money?” That’s how it begins.

Think about when you owe a large sum of money to a creditor, like a credit card company. After a while, they raise the interest. How does it feel when it seems you can never pay them back? Maybe you’re making INTEREST payments, but you never quite seem to muster the funds to pay for the principle. What else do they do? They probably keep raising your credit limit though, don’t they? It will mean that you will continue to depend on them. You will continue to owe them more money because something else keeps coming up. A health emergency happens. A child has a need or a want that is too strong for you to deny it (it’s almost Christmas afterall and the other kids’ parents are buying X gift!). The car breaks down. The cost of gas rises up again. But how do we fix this?
