The only reason we have economic problems is regulations. Deregulate and you'd have refineries popping up, oil drilled, new drug companies etc.

Liberals, by attacking the productivity and thus the wealthy, invariably want an untennable situation where there's more work to be done, less time to do it, less money to gain...and yet they still claim for more free money for the unproductive too.

How can you have free money at all if liberals attack productivity because they do not want a competitive US of A? It's impossible. This is why we have so much debt, by the way.

Debt is not bad, it's the kind of debt we have. When Joseph warned Pharoh to borrow grains before the 7 year famine, it were a wise thing to do, because then Pharoh repaid the debt in stored grain which had become much more valuable as a result of the severe drought.

Our debt, unfortunately, has a value dependent on future happenings. It could be very valuable in the future or very costly.

Of course, the use of debts can VERY GOOD, especially for one side like Pharaoh who with the help of Joseph enslaved his fellow Egyptians. And you view it from this one side.

And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.

And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.

And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.

When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:

Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.

And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.

(Genesis 47)

Debt is not bad . . . . When Joseph warned Pharoh to borrow grains before the 7 year famine, it were a wise thing to do, because then Pharoh repaid the debt in stored grain which had become much more valuable as a result of the severe drought.

Sure. Easy.

In 7 years, America pays its past debts by borrowing even more money.
