• The Terror Of Debt

  So I was looking at this post over at Booman Tribune, and it contained this graph, which comes from CIA statistics and Dept. of State:

  

  And it said this, quoting State again:
  

  2004 marked the single, largest increase in terrorist activity ever recorded since the CIA started keeping records dating back to 1968.
  The four fold increase in significant terrorist incidents (attacks in which people were killed and wounded) was a direct consequence of the war in Iraq. All you have to do is look at the attacks recorded and the people killed and wounded in those attacks. Iraq and India were the big targets in 2004.

  Now, it seems to me that this graph, and its consequent bump-up in the year 2004, bears a striking resemblance to this graph:

  

  See how the national debt increases radically in 2004?

  These two graphs lead to one incontrovertable conclusion: Terrorists hate debt. When they smell debt on you, watch out! They’re not jihadists or disenfranchised Palestinians. No, they just hate fiscal irresponsibility. They’re the human form of the 77% interest that awaits you at the end of that $0-down, 0% for 90 days financing you took out. Usury is terrorism, and terrorism is usury!

  I bet if we could get our debt-holding ways under control and cut up that IRS credit card, the terrorists Wouldn’t Hate Us Anymore.
