-- If Congress can arbitrarily raise the debt limit; and mandate that we must take out loans, to pay the interest on the loans we already have - this country is already dead. --

The constitution gives Congress the power to regulate the value of money, and to borrow money. It does not set any limits on either.

The flip side of this is that the US financial situation is Congress's doing, period.

I do agree, the country is dead. All three branches of the federal government are corrupt beyond redemption. It can't collapse fast enough to suit me. No sense in communicating with them either, unless it makes you feel better. They have no care what the public thinks.

Bachmann is my Rep. She might be an OK Prez candidate, but as a Rep she is notorious for not responding to emails...

It'll be hell, but it's the only way to learn and do it right the next time. Taking money from one group and giving it to another in exchange for a vote has caused all this.

When people are all forced to get back to the soil, at least everyone would be responsible for their own keep, and slavery truly would come to an end. The words "leader" and "government" would be forbidden.
