Imagine - some high school kids of today will be running for public office in the years to come, and their campaign slogans will sound something like this: "Hey, don't look at me! I was just a kid when Obama bankrupted our nation! Don't blame me for Obama!'s screw-ups!"
QUESTION: How will we answer our grandchildren when they ask us what we did to stop this disaster from happening? When they ask us if we were senile when we were in our prime? When they ask us why we didn't speak plainly and openly against the rush to madness?
ENOUGH ALREADY!
There ought to be a law - a Responsibility In Federal Legislation law, that says when Congress engages in clearly irresponsible activity for whatever reason, that they should be held financially liable as individuals, to include their families as well.
As they are so willing to do for so many business industries, let them face a day of reckoning at which they will be held to a simple standard of decency and common sense. If it can be shown that they acted rashly and with extereme prejudice towards ANY group of people, then they AND THEIR CHILDREN should be made to pay restitution. And if the president signs it, then he and his family should be held likewise accountable.
Obama can and is prosecuting people for voicing their legal *opinions*. I think it's vastly less onerous to hold our politicians to the same standards that they hold other businesses to. If they screw up, punish them. If we can show that they did it on purpose, for some unseen benefit to themselves, then I say we BANKRUPT THEM, just as they are bankrupting us!
