I learned as a parent to be careful what I said in front of my kids, because you never know when they would repeat or blurt out what you said in an embarrassing situation.

But many times kids can be down-right astute and innocent to the point where they can see clearly what adults can’t, just like the wise little boy above.

Yeh, Congress. It’s very clear you can’t count and don’t know your math. Otherwise you’d realize we have a massive, unsustainable debt that will keep our kids and grandkids in hock for generations. Kids love to scream out “but it isn’t fair!” Yep, Mr. Obama. It ain’t fair. It isn’t fair to legacy all these debts to our descendants, but you and your cabal in Congress don’t get it.

But it doesn’t matter. You will be taken care of for life, even Congress. Healthcare, pensions, etc. You guys won’t ever have to worry about money.

Then there is Miss “Most-Powerful-Woman-in-US-History” Madame Pelosi flitting around in her tax-payer subsidized 757 gloating about her socialist power-grab of 1/6 of the US economy with her passage of Pelosi-care. And as for you, Mr. Obama! what happened to your promise to work with the Republicans in Congress? Seems to have gone out the window, along with most of your other promises.

Rep. House Minority Leader John Boehner & House Minority Whip Eric Cantor sent you this letter on February 4 of this year, urging you to work with them in reining in the out-of-control spending. More than two months later, they tell us they have had no response from you. And here is a report dated April 7 of this year from ranking Republican Paul Ryan outlining all the negatives of Zero-care. But I guess you aren’t listening, and what’s more don’t care. After all, passing Zero-care was one of the few campaign promises you actually did keep. I know, you ain’t really a doctor, you just play one on TV:

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in a Wall Street Journal article on April 7 said this:

huge U.S. budget deficits threaten the nation’s long-term economic health and should be addressed soon.

Everyone including the little boy above, except you, seem to realize this. But you’ll be taken care of for life. Making the rest of us fend for ourselves. But then maybe all I have to do is spend all my money foolishly, take out a huge mortgage, go bankrupt and join this woman:

Yep. Gonna get my mortgage paid, and gas put in my car. All without working.

The Outstanding Public Debt as of 12 Apr 2010 at 09:14:57 PM GMT is:

The estimated population of the United States is 308,182,277, so each citizen’s share of this debt is $41,657.02.

Thanks Obama, Pelosi and Congress for the great “present.”
