Americans Have Always Been In Debt...
President Jefferson passed away with a lot of monetary debt. But the country was indebted to him. The link above guides you to the cultural historian T.J. Jackson Lears (@ Rutgers), as he and/or his graduate students (unmentioned, naturally and understandably) put together an article that thematically traces the history of American debt. Culture for thought, that's all.

...and even though Americans have always been in debt, I kind of would like it if we weren't in so much debt right now.
Is Iraq using their oil money to help with their own reconstruction? Just curious.
