Debt, Accountability, and the Coming War
Let's face it. The U.S. government is going to keep putting this country further and further into debt with no stop in sight. Not only is the current Democrat administration pushing to borrow 6 trillion more in just it's first year; but Trump did the same thing with the Coronavirus checks.
The country is heading into a fiscal debt default; and there are two possible pathways. The first is to pay off the debt. However, with no serious effort being made now to begin to do this, and the interest on the trillions and trillions posing an impossibility to actually get it done, the second path is the likely one.
The U.S. is borrowing money from somewhere. I don't know too much about it; but I've heard that China is the main donor. When the U.S. declares a debt default, do you really think that China will say, "Oh well!", and turn the other way? They will go to war with our country, and with good reason. Militarily, a country's moral cause is a major factor in any conflict. America fought the Revolutionary War to gain Independence. The North fought the Civil War mainly to abolish slavery. And, America declared war on Japan in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor.
There are some of us Americans who: don't accept welfare, try to avoid using socialized services, and won't cash Coronavirus checks. Personally, I have a hard time keeping a spotless record of morality in my convictions--especially when I have to drive around on public roads for work, and find Coronavirus checks automatically subtracted from my tax dues and $1,400 electronically forced into my bank account without my consent.
But, for those truly guilty Americans, who soak welfare for whatever they can get, I think they should be served a Conscription Card for mandatory participation in the coming war. Since they are the really guilty ones who have gotten us into this mess, they should be the drafted soldiers who are forced to fight to defend the system they support.
