Why do we collectively want to spend more than we earn?
Some would say to keep our vulnerable alive.
Some would say because we can't help waste money on silly things.
Some would say that collectively we are still spending while not managing to achieve our unemployed adapting to new technology.
Some would say we just don't do volunteer work enough to make sure we don't want more money than we spend.
I think all the above are correct.
But the last one is a fact of life that is needed in every structure of organisation.
We just do not work enough for the money.
If we were all under one government, debt could be dealt with as a matter of routine.
Either a top down solution is enforced or the debt is written off or even both could happen.
But a one world government has yet to stride about this planet and so we are heading for a quarrel and military crisis.
Maybe our weak will just die soon or the strong leave us so much that we become a gangster ridden terrorist causing nation.
The fact is we are no longer competitive.
I wish we would all be caring Christian Volunteers making sure the books balance.
But we are maybe not even a "Christian country" now a days.
So we are sinking into a swamp of debt like a stubborn Donkey disregarding good sense from its human.
