"There is no legitimate reason compelling a government of the people to borrow funds from private bankers to finance its operations. Once government begins to borrow from bankers, it becomes indebted to them. Government, which produces nothing except debt, is not capable of repaying borrowed funds; it must harness the labors of the people to generate the funds necessary to service its debts. In this manner, government has no incentive to be fiscally responsible; it spends and spends and places the burden of its reckless spending on the shoulders of the people. One must only review the history of U.S. public indebtedness to see the truth of our collective fiscal plight. The numbers below beg the questions: “Where will it end? At what point will the government have collateralized all the assets of the American people into foreclosure and who will our creditors hire to seize our combined properties?"
