Jefferson: To Preserve Independence We Must Not Let Our Rulers Load Us With Perpetual Debt

Our founding fathers seemed to know what we do not. I just spent time on the phone AGAIN exhorting my Senators and Representative to vote NO on the Stimulus Plan. And in so doing became worked up once again.

According to Thomas Jefferson each generation must pay their own way and not saddle the next generation with their debts. But look to our nation! Each generation is spending more than they take in. At home, we expect ourselves to live within our own budget. No parent wants to pass onto their children a debt. NO. They want to pass onto their children a hope and a future and a better life. SO WHY as a nation are we allowing the government to pass onto our children a MASSIVE DEBT???

"To preserve [the] independence [of the people,] we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude."--Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816.

Our nation, with this bill, is putting our children into SERVITUDE! Servitude to the debt WE INCUR!

Please. Please. Please. Call and write your Congressmen and women! Demand that they vote against this stimulus package.

Even the Congressional Budget Office says this bill will not help and that the majority of the money will not go into the economy for years! The only thing this bill does is expand government and create a massive increase of the debt to pass onto our children!

Call today! Do not wait! (You can find a link in my sidebar to help you contact your Congressmen.)

"Then I say, the earth belongs to each of these generations during its course, fully and in its own right. The second generation receives it clear of the debts and incumbrances of the first, the third of the second, and so on. For if the first could charge it with a debt, then the earth would belong to the dead and not to the living generation. Then, no generation can contract debts greater than may be paid during the course of its own existence." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1789.
