$15 trillion debt, and Congress on Prozac

One of the incredible benefits of being in Congress MUST be a virtually unlimited Prozac supply. There can’t be any other explanation to the inaction on public debt.
Perhaps Congress views the public debt like many people view birthdays. A birthday is a milestone, certainly. But just another day. And so, it seems, is the attitude of the United States Congress, to what should be the earth-shattering news that the United States’ Government’s accumulated debt, also known as the “Public Debt”, just surpassed $15 trillion. Yes, a huge milestone. But, for Congress, just another number.
As of this writing, the public debt stands at $15,037,781,593,007.03. And counting! That’s $15 BILLION, one thousand times! The definite benefits of proper use of Prozac aside, perhaps members of Congress are on enough psychotropic medications to dull the sense of the sheer economic impact that $15 trillion in debt has on all Americans. Either that, or their continued spending binge is a lethal and astounding combination of ineptitude, mismanagement, and almost psychotic lack of empathy for what this spending is doing to the next 3 – 4 generations of United States’ citizens.
