2 + 2 = a pink unicorn.

That's all they are arguing to begin with. 'The state' is a drop in replacement for god, as you have pointed out before. God can do anything, the state can do anything, laws of economics do not apply in the minds of statists. They will ride the titanic to the ocean floor.

"Abolish that and you will have a lot more pressure for a sustainable economy and proper size of gov't, whatever we the people determine that size to be."

Why don't you just decide what the size of government ought to be now? You are proposing a historically unprecedented scenario where a government is created and then does not systematically expand and consume society whole. All the evidence is stacked up against you. It's a very naive and utopian idea that has been proven wrong.

"We have a huge implicit mortgage on every household in America- except, unlike a real mortgage, it's not backed up by a house," said David Walker, former U.S. comptroller general, the government's chief auditor.

This is why debt is immoral and we should weep for the burden we have put on our children... the countless hours of labor we have stolen from generations to come is unforgivable!

[alistairproductions]

Believe it or not I've had people just deny the debt is a big issue. I had a person say "Well it's not really that big an issue. A debt doesn't mean what it once did. We're expected to have debt."

It's shocking.

Statism doesn't work anywhere. Not in Scandinavia atleast. You need to look at the direction where the state is now heading in different parts to understand also the true nature and how it's going to solve problems opposed to other solutions. Book called Quasi-Democracy has some insights on Finland.

It's so funny watching this video now. It's 2011 and our federal debt just topped 14 TRILLION dollars. Soon any attempt to rescue America from this debt will be futile because the interest on the 14 trillion will put this goal out of reach, even with a 100 percent tax rate and across the board cuts.

The sad fact is.. we need less people in the world...
