The Pain of Public Debt
(Gary Marshall) One of the big arguments against government borrowing comes from James Buchanan, winner of the Nobel Prize in economics in 1986. In his book Public Principles of Public Debt, he argued against government borrowing because he claimed that the public enjoys the benefits of public expenditures while the debts incurred pass along to future generations for settlement. Buchanan surmised that if residents endure no consequences for funds borrowed and spent, little constraint exists to dampen the fiery spending aspirations of government bureaucrats and leaders.

(M. E. Boyd) “We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications…. [for] their promises of discretion for almost forty years… [t]he work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a World Government… The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” David Rockefeller to the Trilateral Commission, 1991.
