<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hawkwing74, post: 1300797, member: 30896&quot;]Of course it&#039;s different. My point is, controlling the debt this time is going to be a lot harder than during World War II, barring inflation or some form of default. People keep saying the debt was worse during WW2, which it was, but state, local, student, personal debts were nowhere near as bad. None of them have enough money. In my case, Cook County is broke, Illinois is broke, Chicago is broke, and the US owes 15 trillion. If all these littler entities raise taxes to stay afloat, and the Federal Government does the same, that is a great deal of pain for most taxpayers. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Federal debt per taxpayer is 133,000. Do you think the average taxpayer has that kind of money? For the ones who do, do they want to give in that money? And that&#039;s just the Federal. Makes me want to move to Wyoming or North Dakota, when I look at how broke my state and country are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
