These free-traitors seem to think that people should know better than to take on any debt they cant pay for with no money, is being a real spendthrift.

To the extent that this is true, it is quite ironic. Under the system of "free" trade which they defend, we are running a massive trade deficit which is the key indicator of of our trading problems. This massive deficit means that we are spending more than we earn, consuming more than we produce, and trying to build a sound future for our country by borrowing money and selling assets.

The free-traitors are selling our grand children's futures, not even mortgaging it - as a mortgage can be paid off, and you own what ever you mortgaged. And they are going to duck out on payments, and leave our kids and grand kids holding worthless paper, while foreigners own our whole country, and they will procede to collect. The road to serfdom.
