Goverment or Bust

Is the United States heading for trouble. Let’s use the troubled teenager theory to describe the problem. Let’s use the name Dimwit for our teenager. Dimwit is a good kid but likes to constantly get into money problems. He tries very hard to pay for everything he wants but just doesn’t have enough money to buy everything. Dimwits solution he will get a credit card from a bank, that knows he without a job and is not an adult, but
still send him a credit card with a 2000.00 limit. Oh-boy, Dimwit shouts out with glee, I have a credit card but I will take very good care of it. A week passes when Dimwit finds
a game at Wal-Mart he has drooled over for six months but realizes he does not have the money for it. Then all of the sudden a light bulb turns on and he realizes he has a credit card now and proceeds to buy the game. Three months go by when Dimwit pulls his credit card out to pay for a item he does not need and wamo the cashier tells him his card has been declined. Oh this is a major travesty for Dimwit what will he do now, then poof an idea, I will go to Mommy and Daddy. Daddy tells Dimwit you should have been more responsible with your credit card so take care of it yourself. Dimwit is greatly depressed now but then all of the sudden Mommy enters the room and ask Dimwit what is wrong.
Dimwit then proceeds to tell Mommy about the credit card and Mommy with a tear in her eye pays off Dimwits credit card. Dimwit was very happy but Mommy to him he was not allowed to charge on it again. Dimwit proceeded to do well with the directions until he found the new game system at BestBuy. He had to have it so he pulled out his credit card and poof it was his. But there was one problem Dimwit has just ran his card to the max limit, what would he tell his mom. That night Dimwit tells Mommy the bad news hoping she would not yell at him. Mommy listened to the problem and told Dimwit she would bailout him again but he better not charge on the card again and guess what happened the next week. The United States Government is being a good Mommy to the banks but what will the banks do next be a Dimwit?
