Peter Hetland's colum titled "Bills must be paid; here a a few ways to do it" was an editorial that dealt with the debt in the United States. The message of Hetlad was for the American public to begin addressing this debt now with the United States beginning to come out of the recession so that future generations do not have to bear the burdon of ths debt. Hetland gave six ways to address this debt.
After reading this article I found the following to be interesting: 1. The best way to give an analagy is if you were living on $50,000 a year, and spent $85,000. We are spending more than we make. 2. Addressing this debt is going to include EVERYONE making sacrifices. 3. The United States government owns 650 million acres of land. 4. Oil is available for drilling in the Artic National Refuge. 5. Sending troops overseas (Afghanistan & Iraq) costs money that adds to the debt.
I enjoyed parts of what this author had to say in relationship to addressing the debt. I disagreed with his ideas to cut money that goes towards education. I don't think education gets enought money as it. I also disagreed with his view on drilling for oil in the arctic because this would disrupt many wildlife, and would not have the effect at the gas pumps that many people think. I would recommend this article to young people so they are aware of where we are at as a country in terms of debt, and what US money is currently being spent on.
" Bills must be payed, here are a few waysto do it," by Peter Hetland is aproblem throghout the USA. This is about people not paying bills. And how many peopel are being forced to be bankrupt. And how people are spending money on things that we don't needd.

People have things they don't need but are not selling them to help them out of deby. 4. People are thinking we should raiseveryone's age by 6 months for retirementbenefits.
My overall thoughts wer people just pay the bills. Maybe you and everyone in your family would be happier if you payed the bills. I think people should help others going bankrupt. I reccomend this to parents.
