The most upsetting thing about the debt that’s being piled on is that it’s ethically unacceptable to grab some for yourself (it’s tainted money, inflicting misery on future generations), but there’s no where to run when the bill comes do. There’s a feeling of helplessness, and it’s enraging.

I would feel better though if the government, in an effort to regain it’s fiscal footing, seized the personal assets of every politician who has served in Congress for the last 50 years. It wouldn’t amount to much, but damn if it wouldn’t feel good. “What are you worried about, Congressmen? – you’ve got Social Security and Medicare!”
