Once our country is fully engulfed in a debt crisis, our economy will be torn apart, and every American will be a victim of the federal government's failure to prevent this disaster.

I think what's important to understand is if the United States hits the debt ceiling and is unable to pay its debts, the consequences will be immediate and dramatic.

This accumulated debt at all levels of our society poses an immediate existential threat to America. Now unlike the manufactured crises of global warming and healthcare, this is a true crisis. This crisis threatens the very sovereignty of our country.

If we bankrupt America, we will all pay the price.

Greed can't again lead the way. We've taken that route before with terrible consequences for this nation and its people.

Obviously, there has to be a profound change in direction. Otherwise, interest on the national debt will start eating up virtually every penny that we have.

A national debt, if it is not excessive, will be to us a national blessing.

If we don't change the way Washington operates we're going to bankrupt our children and grandchildren.

There is nothing left now for us but to get ever deeper and deeper into debt to the banking system in order to provide the increasing amounts of money the nation requires for its expansion and growth.

This nation is like a spring freshet; it overruns its banks and destroys all who are in its path.
