I am aware of the growing debt of many Americans. I don't think it is
a good thing, but I also don't think it is the responsibility of the
government to somehow fix it -- that lies with each individual.
Although I would like to see the government set a good example, by
spending less itself, and by no longer actively encouraging profligate
spending by the American consumer. Just say no to "stimulus" checks!
