I choose Default.

I want America to default on its debt.

I vote for default. It's a simple decision to me. The government is doing
their best to tell Americans that we are only 14 trillion dollars in debt.
However, do a Google search for 'US unfunded commitments' and see what pops up. The popular number is around ~60 trillion dollars. Some would put it
around 100 trillion. Sixty trillion dollars puts a burden of about 500,000
dollars onto each and every household. Half a million dollars per household!

Now with the IRS's own numbers, half of America pays a net federal tax of
0.00, and some even net a negative number. Netting a negative tax payment
means that they get paid more than they put in. Basically we have people out
there that are getting cut a paycheck from the Government for doing nothing.
So with half of America paying nothing in taxes, who is going to foot the
bill? It's also been shown that if we taxed everyone in America at 100% it
wouldn't be a drop in the bucket. So what's the point of raising taxes on
those that are already carrying the country? I'll tell you who our 'leaders'
are planning on paying the bill, generations of unborn Americans. They (in
Washington) could care less about the debt because they now they aren't going to have to pay for it.

With all this talk about shared sacrifice, who has yet to sacrifice? The
people asking you and me to sacrifice, that's who. Who is exempted from
Obamacare? The very people who passed it into law. Who has yet to make a
sacrifice on their paycheck? The very people asking Americans to pay more in taxes. Their 6 digit salaries are conveniently just under the 'rich' bracket.


So besides the crooks in Washington (all sides, shapes and colors) exempting themselves from everything they force onto their peasants, why do I think we should default?

NO-ONE in Washington has presented a real plan to get us out of debt. The
only thing we have seen is plans to 'get us by' for a few years. Cut a little
fat here and there but never actually getting us out of debt without counting
on our unborn to hopefully keep up with the bills. Hell we are even told to
believe that debt is good. Only when it becomes so bad that they can't hide
it anymore is it now an issue. Of course, they are still trying to church-up
the numbers as I mentioned earlier.

So politicians keep saying we should elect them because they will make the
'hard decisions'. Show me one politician that has made a hard decision? As
I've talked about, the only decisions they make, apply to us, not them. How
is it hard to make decisions that don't effect yourself? Well, I'm willing to
make a hard decision. I want to default now. Let's take this on. I'm tired of
China owning America, literally. They own us. Would you take a mortgage out
with China? Would you trust them with your house? Why are we trusting them
with our Country?

Speaking of your house, how many times must it be pointed out: It's bad for
individuals and families to live off of debt. If you depend on borrowing to
live, it eventually catches up to you and often times people lose everything.
So why is it ok, and even encouraged for our Government to live off of money
we don't have? Why are the rules different? Because the Politicians don't
play on the same field you and I do. They have made the perfectly clear.

Some people rail against defaulting because it would hurt the world economy.
WHO GIVES A SHIT?!?!? Our country is in dire trouble. I could give a flying
rat turd what's going to happen to China, and sorry chaps, but England is
going to have to suck it up. Hell, the rest of the world is already in the
crap hole as it is. I mean, are our elected officials really more concerned
about other countries than the one they are supposed to work for? Screw the
rest of the world. America needs a hard restart. We need to get back to
living off our means. We need to go back to gold/silver backed dollars. The
Federal Reserve needs to be raided by the Secret Service/FBI and
investigated. How the hell did we let our money be controlled by 'for profit'
bankers??? Hell, even Pres. Wilson regretted what he did when he signed the
bill giving our money to the Fed. Res.

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great
industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit
is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities
are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized
world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by
conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and
duress of a small group of dominant men." -Woodrow Wilson

I say let's make a hard decision and default now. We made it through the
Great Depression we can make it out of default. I am not worried about the
rest of the world, economically or militarily. I am worried about us. We can
chose to take the short hard road, or the long 'easy' road that leads to
eventual demise under unknown conditions on a unborn generation that isn't
responsible or deserving of such a fate. Yes it will suck, but I have full
faith it will be shorter and better than continuing down this path of
unsustainable debt.
