Hell to the motherfucking NOOOOO. Its not my fault the government recklessly spends money like a rich trust-fund baby. If they want out of debt, learn to control spending. I wouldn't donate a dime to the government.

In my opinion (key words, in my opinion) the only government spending should be on defence, education (including post-secondary), universal health care (two tiered system), police, fire department, road work, and a few other select things. Spending on welfare, workers comp, supporting charities, and other shit like that has got to stop.

People need to take responsibility for themselves and the government needs to stop babying people and bailing them out when they get into financial trouble. People need to live within their means and also put some money into savings so you have a safety net for when you run into trouble. I know there are extreme circumstances but I've gotta think 95% who are in debt, are in there because of their own actions (overspending, not having a safety net, using credit cards, taking cash advances, etc). I always laugh when people say banks are the bad guy when they take your home away...how are they the bad guy? Banks are a business not a charity. If you loan a guy $10,000 so he can buy a car and he stops paying you back you aren't going to say "don't worry, keep the car. You can pay me back later"...you're gonna take the car away from that lazy fucker and tell his ass to take the bus.
