Balancing Books Isn't a Circus Stunt

One of the things I plan to do when I'm elected president, aside from my main message of "keeping politics out of government," is to issue a proclamation declaring a moratorium on all unpaid bills. This way, people will have more money to spend, which will provide a much needed shot in the arm for the economy. It's like a crash diet, where you lose weight fast so you can start pigging out again. Okay, you say, businesses will never go for it, but remember, businesses owe lots of money, too. The fact is, everyone owes up to their eyeballs. It's no different, really, from forgiving the debt of emerging third world countries. Which reminds me, I read that Bank of America is now issuing credit cards to undocumented aliens. They don't need a social security card, or a credit record, just a bank account with no "recent" bounced checks. Of course, the interest rates give usury a good name. Way to go, Bof A, fleece the newcomers. You can imagine that a lot of politicians are up in arms because, they claim, it's a threat to national security. That just doesn't make a bit of sense. Terrorists don't need credit cards, they're funded. My idea is to keep an eye on any alien who doesn't want a credit card. He's unAmerican.
