Why has every president since the end of WWII either let the debt stay as it was or let it increase incrementally? The answer is, because we told them to do it. That is right, we the people of America have told them, our presidents to do this to us. We did this through the voting booth. ”A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.” Alexander Tytler, The Lifecycle of Civilizations [...] [...] So I ask the question, why is that?

What does managing money, founding a charity, and reviewing the academic position of Tyler's "Lifecycle of Civilizations" have to do with spirituality? Certainly I believe in the power of mankind and human rationality, but never have I written a word against spiritual faith. @Luke – I’m sorry, I’m having a tough time understanding your position.

Why in the world are you espousing the life cycle of civilization, which always includes spiritual faith? Surely, you'd want to replace that with something man can do. Where DO you get your ground floor? As a hedge fund manager, perhaps spiritual faith, which involves ground rules from outside man-made things, could certainly be replaced with man-made creation of collateralized debt obligations, and relaxation of rules, and other really neat monetary basics which have proven so valuable in today's economic situation.
