Debt and Government

I lifted this from the Internet:

"Think raising the U.S. debt ceiling is a new issue? Forget it. Congress established the nation's first debt ceiling in 1917. By 1919, they had to raise it. Over the 92 years since then, we've hit or almost hit the debt ceiling 76 times and Congress has raised it... 76 times. Wonder what they'll do this time?"

What does this tell us about government?. . . It has an insatiable craving for more and more money to ever expand the size and reach of government into all aspects of our lives. Is there a time when it will ever stop?. . . Only when it comes crashing down all around us. Is there a person or group of persons with the fortitude to stop it?. . . Not very likely. . . Its too much fun spending other people's money.
