This latest milestone in the ever-rising journey of the National Debt comes less than eight months after it hit $11 trillion for the first time. The latest high-point is not unexpected, considering the federal deficit for the just-ended 2009 fiscal year hit an all-time high at $1.42-trillion – more than triple the previous year's record high...
It gets worse. The same document projects that by the end of the decade, the National Debt will hit $24.5 trillion -- exceeding the Gross Domestic Product projected for 2019 of $22.8 trillion.http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/11/17/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry5686644.shtml
We take it for granted...any debt. The national debt while higher than ever in the history of our country stills seems incomprehensible and for the most part unbelievable. Sometimes it is easy for me to "forget" how Christ paid my debt. Some days the blessings I know smack me in the face ad remind me that they came with a debt but I wasn't the one who paid. His death was incomprehensible and unimaginable by human standards as well. But he leveraged his life for mine and there is just no way I can ever be over-grateful for being lifted out of debt.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
"WHAT DO YOU THINK OUR COUNTRY SHOULD DO SO THAT THE SANDBOX GENERATION AND THEIR OFFSPRING DON'T HAVE TO SPEND THEIR LIFETIME IN DEBT?"
There really should be only debt our nation should have and that should be to the ONE who died for all of us.
Today pay something forward to those who need to have some "change."
