You know the debt wouldn't bother me so much-- if it was Americans the government was going into debt to...Like in WWI- they sold Liberty Bonds to fund war efforts-- in WWII it was War Bonds, Victory Bonds, Civilian Bonds (for conscientous objectors), war savings stamps, or Defense bonds-- and they had drives going thruout the nation to sell them...

But now we are borrowing money from and going into debt to many countries that really aren't our best of friends-- and would just love to see us crash.... :shock: :(

How many even know we have a Patriot Bond :???: That was issued after 9/11...I had forgot all about them- and in researching it found that most everybody else has too :roll: -- as its only sold $9.2 billion-- which is just a drop in the bucket to the 2 or 3 Trillion $ that the wars are projected to cost.....Maybe its because funding goes into the general fund and is not earmarked for the wars, antiterrorism or anything specific... :???: Or maybe we have got so far into this "Charge It" thinking that folks don't think we need to pay for anything anymore :???:

On December 11, 2001, three months after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the U.S. government began issuing a version of the Series EE bond known as the "Patriot Bond". While the paper document has the words "Patriot Bond" printed on it, the regular terms and conditions of Series EE bonds apply to Patriot Bonds, and money raised from the sale of Patriot Bonds is applied to the general fund.
