Fortunately, we never have to pay back the money. We have the world's largest military, and if anyone tries to come and collect, we just bomb them.

So borrow away! Obama ballooned our national debt to unprecedented levels, and why not keep spending? All that's going to happen is that when the Democrats take power, which must happen eventually, they're going to take the money we saved and blow it on stupid crap. Hand them a maxed out credit card instead, and spend the money on ourselves while we have the chance.

This is what winning an argument looks like. Congratulations, Democrats. You know how hard that is to do?

This but unironically.

The US used to be a free and peaceful country with declining debt. The USA is now a bankrupt warmongering police state.

Everything is illegal. The US is not a democracy. The Bill of Rights has been repealed. Every day just gets worse.

Instead of just sitting there and thinking about the collapse, why not take concrete action and go out and buy guns, ammo, gold, and food today?

The US might last another 100 years, but the chance of the USA collapsing next year is just as likely.

You convinced me. I'm going to buy food today.

Again. When was the US a free and peaceful country with declining debt? 1984? 1973? 1865?

Americans used to believe in freedom.

Now Americans would need to be mentally ill to think tyranny won’t get worse.

Who would have thought in 1980 that the USA would soon have curfews, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, checkpoints, forfeiture, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, torture, kill lists, no fly lists, searches without warrants, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, FBAR, FATCA, TSA groping, secret FISA courts, and Jade Helm?

During the Wild West in the US, everyone could carry guns, businesses were not licensed, no one had Social Security numbers, there were no sales, income, or property taxes, and drugs, alcohol, smoking, gambling, and prostitution were legal.

There was little government, yet people lived and had freedom.

The government today is regulating every area of everyone’s life.

The government wants to tell us what to do, what to think, where to live, how to live, what to wear, and what to eat. Saying you live in a free country with a straight face is difficult when everything is illegal.

How can anyone take the moral high ground on anything when we are all criminals?

In the US, your body is not your body, your property is not your property, and your kid is not your kid.

Government is not the solution to problems. Government IS the problem.

Alcohol prohibition failed. The Soviet Union failed.

Anyone who supports the police state is just a tool for the elites.

Too bad Americans are surrendering liberty so easily.

Why did the USA fight for freedom against the British, Hitler, and Saddam if America just ended up as a police state? All those American soldiers died in vain.

The elites are trying to weaken and divide Americans by race, gender, handicap, penalizing hard work, encouraging welfare use, and pushing immorality while using fear, terrorism, drugs, false flags, discrimination, hate speech, Russian propaganda, and fake news laws, and wars on cash to make Americans give up their free speech rights, religious freedom, guns, right to silence, privacy, property, right to trials, freedom from torture, and the freedom from extrajudicial assassination.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Wake up.

Think.

Pass the word.
