SUPPORT THE DEBT CLOCK TOUR
As individuals we know that you can only live beyond your means for so long before the creditors say enough and demand the money owed them. Unfortunately something happens to many people who occupy some position, elected or non-elected, who forget how accountable they are as individuals but do not apply the same standards of accountability when spending other peoples' money. This is what has happened in Canada, the USA and many other countries who have spent way beyond the means to service the debt and have run up their Federal debts into the trillions which will be passed onto the generations that follow.
The national debt is really the government spending with your credit card. Here's the problem: most Canadians don't know that. They don't know Canada's national debt is already more than a trillion dollars. They don't know politicians are borrowing more than $391 million per day.
