<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1206952, member: 26302"]To me, it is "national" personal responsibility. Whose debt is it Cloud? Is it China's? Russia's? Germany's? No, it is ALL AMERICANS debt. It is just as much your debt as mine, or the social security recipient, or the soldier, or the welfare receiving person. Trying to say "its not PERSONALLY mine" is an insult. Even if you NEVER voted for a politician who spent way too much money, you are a citizen of a nation that had borrowed trillions on your behalf. Even if you did not agree, it was borrowed on your behalf. You have benefited, your parents have received social security and medicare, you have had national defense paid, etc etc. You may disagree with the debt, as I vehemously do, but your future has been mortgaged along with everyone elses by our elected officials. To me, for any American to claim that its not his "personal" debt is insulting since you are saying other Americans other than yourself should pay. Or are you saying its the person who bought the treasury notes fault that our politicians have spent like drunken teenagers? I own some Treasuries Cloud. Am I the problem?
