"if we combine the household’s share of off-balance sheet liabilities and public debt, we get $752,219.97. Per household!"

Government out of control!

“if we combine the household’s share of off-balance sheet liabilities and public debt, we get $752,219.97. Per household!”

So...
If I pony up this number,
Can I officially and forever go off balance sheet with the USSA?
Completely free of all coercive regulation?
Cease forever to pay any taxes?

It would be worth it!

What’s in your safe?

Not relevant to this article, but pertinent to the question. This morning's local paper had an article about a local man who ordered a gun safe from a major national manufacturer. When it arrived, he found the safe to be full of bales of marijuana. He called the sheriff to say that his safe was full of things he hadn't ordered.

The safe had been made by prison labor in Mexico and imported into the US, then shipped to him.

Better be sure what's in your safe.

How different our attitudes have become in our fleeting years of success and prosperity.

If our world brings back the concepts of "Debtor's Prison" and indentured servitude, we, the people, are in serious trouble.

We won't enjoy the consequences we've earned by following this path we're nearing the end of.
