Republican leaders in North Carolina's General Assembly (which is GOP-dominated) vowed recently to override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of a state voter identification bill. Earlier Friday, Cooper said no to the legislation, which more than 55 percent of the state’s voters had approved in a recent referendum. How can a state governor overturn a legally passed vote of the people on an issue? How would America’s founders view such actions?

What are some practical steps to get out of debt?

Just like in Jimmy Stewart’s“It’s a Wonderful Life”, the scrooge Banker (Mr. Potter) at the worst possible time, sought to call in the loan of the Bailey Savings and Loan just like he had been calling in the mortgage loans for average people in town who fell on hard times. Who are the lenders to the federal government and who could call the loan?
Who could be Mr. Potter and call the loan?

The estimated amount of personal debt without a mortgage is $38,000 per citizen. When the mortgage debt is factored in (according the Federal Reserve), that total number goes to $58,864 per citizen. Why are people (individuals or families) continuing to pile on debt and spend more than they have?

The debt owed by the federal government (Excluding state or local government), according to the U.S. Treasury, total national debt is $21.9 Trillion and going over $22 T before end of year. When this is broken out and divided equally among all 329,000,000 Americans the debt per citizen – every man, woman, and child is over $66,000 per citizen. When you total the debt of Personal, National, State, and local governments, according to the US Treasury, that total skyrockets to $71.7 T dollars and when divided out evenly among US citizens jumps to over $218,000 per man woman and child and over $850,000 per household. Why do those in government (at all levels) and who ought to know better, just do the same?

What does the Bible say about debt and it’s controlling nature?
