Campus Reform's Caleb Bonham took to the streets of Charleston, South Carolina to tell students how much they owe the federal government.
He'd begin by asking students what their birthday is followed by what they would do with a large sum of money (which was actually how much their share of the debt was).
“What would you do if you had over $800,000?” Bonham asked one student who casually replied with “probably buy a couple ounces of pot.”
Needless to say, when Bonham revealed that was how much he owed, his reaction wasn't joyous. In fact, it had to be censored.
When he asked a group of ladies how they could fix the debt problem, they answered, “tell Obama to get out of the White House. Get him the hell out.”

This point is worth printing and reprinting over and over BECAUSE OF THE RATIO BEING ONLY 4:1 and that ratio is getting worse and worse. Canada cannot sustain the public sector as it continues to grow and become obscenely obese. We are on our way down to a bankrupt Canada because we keep electing the big political parties that are spenders and public sector builders: Liberals and NDP. We call sensible planners and those who try to save the country MEAN SPIRITED. Yeah, like the middle class mother who tries to balance her family budget rather than spending till it is all gone…mean spirited saviours.
The Canadian private sector has been forced to bail out corporations like GM and others whose failures came from big union interference and yet Bill C-377 is considered so offensive because Unions might have to keep the same kinds of records that cost governments, corporation, and charities huge sums of money…Well that is just too bad. We need to level that playing field. Their billions are growing faster than our national economy and they intend to run the country and make every business public and unionized minions. Once that happens we are TOAST. They grow unbridled while the rest of us are in paper trail bondage.
People need to learn the story of Britain before Thatcher. They were saved by the skin of their teeth. It is hard to believe that Britain was so close to the brink of certain disaster and nobody seemed to notice. We need a practical and indomitable middle class “housewife” like Maggie, again, to save us…and this is a compliment: I mean the likes of Harper who was truly raised middle class in a normal childhood in Leaside, Ontario, while Trudeau was born with an estimated 1.2 million inheritance and knows nothing about the real middle class except that he wants their votes.
Parasites (of the human variety) aren’t the poor and impoverished. Parasites are those who do pretend work in make-believe jobs at tax-payers’ expense.
And Glenn, who do you want to sell our assets to, China, Russia, ISIS?
I also find it funny how this national debt magically becomes a surplus at the stroke of a pen when some brilliant finance minister increases some unpopular tax or decreases some popular tax break by a couple of percentage points…sorry….I am a little too economics savvy to buy into the fear mongering on this topic and please don’t get me going on that Ponzi scheme called “the gold standard”

And then there’s the problem of the provinces with the largest populations being “have-nots”. But that’s another story.
In addition to carrying their own debt and the debt of their families, private sector workers – because their taxes pay government salaries – are on the hook for the debts of public sector workers as well…plus the unemployed; plus those on disability; plus those on welfare. The ratio of private sector workers to public sector workers in Canada is just about exactly 4:1. And that’s not factoring in the “extras” I talked about above, or, that portion of the private sector that is engaged in public-funded contracts.
Funny how politicians and parasites only use the word sustainability when they preach about the environment, never about economics.
If the PCs would have had the guts and the imagination, they would have posted/published/broadcasted similar messages everywhere. That’s all they would have had to do.
