Debt is Prosperity

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has been making the rounds over the past few weeks lobbying for Congress to raise the debt ceiling. According to him, if we don't increase our debt limit, we will effectively default on our debt.

"On August 2nd, we're left running on fumes, We have no capacity to borrow," Geithner said this morning on CBS' Face the Nation. "We have no other option to buy more time."

My question for Secretary Geithner: what is the point of having a debt ceiling if we're just going to raise it every time we approach it?

If I have a credit card with a $5,000 limit I cannot lobby Visa or MaserCard to increase my limit because I want to buy more iPads and TVs. If for some reason I was able to increase my personal credit limit to $10,000, it would not make my personal budget more solvent.

Today, the University of Central Florida Young Americans for Liberty Chapter took to campus with a mission to unmask Obama's foreign policy. The recent events in Libya sparked several ideas from our members to do a campaign displaying the similarities in foreign policy between Presidents Bush and Obama. We carried several signs, made some short speeches, and passed out literature to hundreds of students. We also had a petition to repeal the PATRIOT Act and over 20 people joined our e-mail list.

Tabling is one of the most important elements of a successful student group, thus it is critical to make the most out of your efforts. Here are a few ideas to keep in mind when organizing a table.

CONSISTENCY

Whether the members of your group can table every day of the week, or just one, be there and make it a regular schedule. At UCF we table every Wednesday from 10:00am-2:00pm in front of the Student Union.
