the leaders of a country with $20 TRILLION in debt should not start suggesting prison for those that run up a debt they cannot pay

This guy is a total prick.

[virgil]

They do it where I live. They throw you in jail if you can’t pay your court fees, your traffic tickets or child support.

[sagar]

If you can’t pay, you should face the consequences. Credit rating downgrade is simply not enough, because the taxpayers end up footing their bills. Time to have more severe punishment.

I once sarcastically suggested indentured servitude for members of Congress in payment of the national debt...

[rcofdayton]

Yes, we should support them for congress critters who fail to pass a balanced budget.

[trebb]

Yeah - because those of us who pay off our debts and credit cards as agreed to really get a kick out of those commercials that blare

WHAT THE CREDIT COMPANIES DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW - YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY OFF ALL YOUR DEBT - LET US HELP YOU PASS IT ON TO THE RESPONSIBLE

In today's society of irresponsibility, I'd love to see punishment for those who spend what they don't have - time after time after time - and keep getting away with stiffing the rest of us.
