I’m tiered for hearing about the American Government surplus that we had in the 90’s. In the first place there is no surplus when you are in debt. This is the biggest reason we are in the mess we are in as a Country. When our Government, Companies and families run day to day operations in debt then we as a Nation do not have a surplus, we just have debt.
Let me put it in this analogy. I’m having a party for my kids and some of their friends. I ask you for 30 brownies and tell you I’ll pay you back. Before I pay you back the 30 brownies, I get 20 brownies. You come and ask for the 20 brownies, I tell you that those 20 brownies are a surplus and I will pay you the 30 brownies when I can pay it all at one time.
The question is do I have a surplus are I’m I still in debt? The only time you have a surplus is when you can not sell your product and it set in the stories and warehouses wasting away.
We as responsible people need to stop the insanity of living in debt. Pay off all debt. Sell what we have to, downsize and stop taken trips what are not needed. If the National government is going to keep getting deeper in debt, they will turn into a black hole and suck us all into it. The only lifeboats we as a people have are God and ourselves. With a chance to change the leaders in our government in 2010 if we will be able to vote.
