If you are talking about the national deficit of $21 trillion, yes, that is correct. Our grand children are going to get stuck with that bill. Of course, I blame Washington D.C. and the instant gratification crowd for that $hit.

Not just those guys.


They are "improving" the highway outside our little town.


The road is perfectly fine. It was ground and chip sealed not long ago.



Nope....we need to spend hundreds of millions on it.


Probably some fugging Federal Mandate requires a new "improved" two lane.


A congressionally approved jobs bill to add some Yankee dollars to the local economy. Of course it will be added to the federal deficit so your grand kids can pay it off. My guess is one of your congress critters got it approved with the help of a majority other congress critters and your congress critter is going to vote "Yes" on his/her bucket list so he/she can throw some Yankee dollars into his/her local economy so it looks like they accomplished something and consequently get re-elected because he/she is really a swell guy/girl and they are looking out for us. Us baby boomers who want to drive to town on a nice newly paved highway paid for with our grand kids money.

See how that works.
