The USA needs radical fiscal responsibility beyond what any US president since the Civil War has proposed. It will require America getting behind it with all they’re worth. Otherwise our grandchildren, if not our children, will become slaves to this incredibly enormous debt. Indeed, they may become slaves to those who own that debt. It will take individual saving, households purchasing from savings, an overthrow of the whole credit system—including our own government’s use of it—rethinking our Messiah complex and the wars attached to it, and (I can’t believe I am saying this) increased taxes. But more than any of this, it will need an American people who hold their elected officials accountable to not taking those taxes and rolling them into more wars and purchasing foreign friends (which usually ends up in more wars anyway) and spending away our future by paying debt with Social Security funds. Otherwise our savings and sacrifice will not get us anywhere but into even more debt. The only result of that would be that my grandchildren and yours are slaves.

Think I’m overreacting? Spend a half-hour watching this video and see how you feel.
