    ask the evaporating middle class how they feel about indebtedness and bondage. Exaggeration?

    no that one was mine. But it was not meant in a literal bondage sense...more of cradle to grave indebtedness sense. How could anyone argue this point?
    Fair enough.

    I think you are exaggerating a weensy bit to make your case, but that is your perogative.

    I would prefer a bit less overall debt as well, at all levels, but am not anywhere near freaked out about it, as Mr. Paul is.

    There is some argument to be made that it is all irrelevant anyways, and hardly the stuff of debt serfdom.

    I will though, be teaching my kids the virtue of borrowing as little as possible and saving.

    Which, in Texas, is not as much as they would like. (no garnishment)

    I'm glad you guys got some light-hearted enjoyment from that. It wasnt meant in bad faith. Some of my life-long friends are s. Some would say I lean towards ish behavior at times. It can be a blessing as well as a curse

    an engineer, a physicist and an economist were stranded on an island. the island was barren except for an active volcano in the center. the volcano looked as if it were to erupt, so they knew they needed to get off the island quickly. they decided to put their great minds together to try to figure out how to construct a boat.

    all they had were food rations and a couple of pieces of metal strewn across the beach.

    when contemplating how to build the boat, the engineer said "i can use the volcano as a kiln and fashion a boat out of the sand. the metal on the beach will serve as a solid framework for the boat and can be used to hold the sand while i fashion it."

    the physicist and economist thought it was a great idea. the physicist said "i can test the buoyancy of the craft and weigh it against the tides, so we can judge the best time to get the boat out into the water and take us to safety."

    however, all three specialists new there was one vital element left to make constructing the boat a feasible idea. the physicist and engineer looked to the economist for an answer. the economist sat for awhile in deep thought then jumped up in revelation. he boomed with pride at his solution.

    "assume you have a sail."

    Wow. I am honestly astonished at that.

    I know you can go to jail for missing court appearances, but that article, if correct, says that people can be jailed for missing debt payments, if ordered by a court, something I have not heard of in the modern US.

    I will do some digging on that. I would guess it is fairly rare, and probably in only in a narrow scope of things.
