Every two weeks I get paid. Each time I get paid, I put $100 in a cigar box to buy Christmas presents for our children. Each week my wife dips into the cigar box, takes out the $100 and buys steaks. She puts an IOU in the cigar box for the $100.
In December, I go to the cigar box to buy Christmas presents. I discover the cigar box has no cash, just IOUs from my wife. I ask her for the money. She says she has no money. She asks me to loan her money so she can put that money back into the cigar box. I get mad. She says you did not complain when you were eating steak. I say, why did you not tell me you were taking money from the cigar box to buy steaks. She says, I thought you would be mad and vote me out of office.
The social security trust fund is a cigar box located at the US Treasury. The cigar box has $3.4 trillion of IOUs that the government borrowed from the cigar box to buy steaks. Moral of the story is - eating fat juicy steaks will produce a lean Christmas for our children.
We need people in the white house with genuine business experience. I am still betting that Obama does not run for reelection.
Join me in encouraging him to make the "right" decision.
