Default The Causes of the French Revolution - (condensed)

Wait a minute, jim.

I paid off all my debts YEARS before the banks poked
a hole in their bubble.

I use my credit cards regularly, but I pay them off every month
and carry NO balance. Even though a disabled VA pension WITH SSDI
is still well-below-poverty-level income.
I use a credit Union, not a bank.
I don't own stocks or play the market (what a ludicrous thought!)

It's called "living within your means".

If the government money quit coming in I'd move aboard the boat
and STILL live within my means.

So who are you calling numskull?

As for government debt, please take note that this is NOT the same
situation we have ever been in before.

You said that the people didn't want banks regulated?
Balderdash!
It's the BANKS who don't want banks regulated.
Sure, stupid people do stupid things when they get the chance.
But it wasn't "the people" who bribed congress to change those laws.
It's the banks who are worming out from under the new regulations too.

But all that (banking and politics) is handled WAY above my pay grade.
I have one vote to cast, and no psych reports to base my decision on.
