Kidding Around

Sometimes I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
--The Who

Federal spending as a percentage of GDP, both historical and projected.

Major entitlements include Social Security and the healthcare triad (Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare).

When our kids and grand kids wake up to what's going on here--that they're paying our way--they're gonna to love us.
