I don't think so.
Is it a promoting reduced credit, moderation, saving?
Who loses when hard working Americans save?

1. Heck no. They want you to be strapped with debt.
They make their money off of those in debt up to their eyeballs.

2. Of course not. Spend. Spend. Spend. Broke? Have another
credit card. Got Home Equity? How about a loan to buy some stuff?

Sixteen Tons
(Merle Travis)

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
Picked up a shovel and I walked to the mine
I hauled sixteen tons of number 9 coal
And the straw-boss said, "Well, bless my soul"


(Chorus)

You haul sixteen tons, whadaya get?
Another older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store


Repeat Chorus

Born one morning it was drizzle and rain
Fightin' and Trouble are my middle name
I was raised in a canebrake by an old mama lion
And no high-toned woman make me walk the line


Repeat Chorus

See me comin' better step aside
A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died
I got one fist of iron and the other of steel
And if the right one don't get ya, the left one will


Repeat Chorus

Born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
Picked up a shovel and I walked to the mine
I hauled Sixteen Tons of number 9 coal
And the straw-boss said, "Well, bless my soul"


Repeat Chorus

Remember Fallujah
