Why, my wife and I do this all the time! Whenever we’re out of money, we just get our charge cards out and get a cash advance! Oh, sure, we’ll have to pay it back someday, but I’m going to enjoy the cash while I have it.

Our Gov’t – “We can’t be out of money, we still have checks!”

It’s called a Ponzi scheme.

It worked for Bernie Madoff for years.

Now the “pros” can try it.

Tax, borrow or print money – you and I both end up paying in the end.

Oooo ooooo oooo… I do I do I do…. *flails hands above head*

otherwise we would have to print more money and then inflation would go up and the value of our dollar would go down faster than the lire before Euro.

Never create debt unless that debt will create wealth.
That is one of the oldest adages in the financial world. If borrowing this money is going to create more wealth, then it is the right thing to do.
