AVOIDING THE BURDEN OF DEBT

Debt is a burden that should be remedied immediately. Whereas an individual's debt may concern only two parties, a national debt affects everyone. Originally, according to the founders, the national debt was to be absolved within the generation that incurred it. Unfortunately, in circumstances as we face today, our national debt may also affect and enslave ones yet unborn.

As you are surely aware, the size of the national debt is of great concern to the electorate, as evidenced in the Tea Party movement as well as the national movement for the scheduled March on Washington.
