$17,500,000,000,000.00 ?
If
you owe this kind of money why not just add a few hundred billion more? Or a couple of trillion? No one can even fathom much less wish to
think about repaying that much money. It
is an impossibility. So we don’t think
about it – don’t talk about it – and we sure don’t wish to remind our children
what we have done to them. After all
some of them may still think we are disciplined adults.
So,
let’s just skip the exercise of a parent explaining this financial situation to
their children. Instead let’s move to
our grandparents. Grandparents have the
time, experience and wisdom to offer guidance and morality lessons to their
grandchildren. So, all you grandpas and
grandmas out there please try this exercise on for size – practice explaining
to your grandchildren the merits of leaving them a seventeen and one half
trillion dollar debt to repay. Be
specific – no generalities – explain why you are proud of what you have done;
what you have to show for it and why these young people should look up to you
for this momentous legacy.
Also,
prospective grandparents (we are thinking of one specific twosome who loves
preaching to us from their overflowing font of experience and wisdom) try this exercise out –
who knows, you may even be able to share it with us on the campaign trail in
2016.
