In two weeks, God willing, our first grandchild will be born. The excitement and anticipation is absolutely indescribable. Gender is known. The child’s name has been declared. The nursery is set and ready. The only unknown is who will be nominated to tell this bundle of joy that he/she will inherit a cool $100,000 of national debt at his/her first breath. It may as well be me, since I’m as guilty as anyone for sending a generation of vote buyers (of both political parties) to Congress. When is the last time you ever heard a national political figure speak about the ballooning national debt, or of attempting to balance the federal budget. It’s easy to spend someone else’s money, and I helped to let them do it. WHAT THE HECK !
