One TRILLION dollars (or, "What are you doing after the Obama rally?")

After the Obama rally in grant park

Okay, kids.

It was cute and everything to see all of you in your fresh, new, Obama t-shirts talking about change and rallying against Bush, and how he 'ruined' the so-called 'Clinton surplus' that we had.

And even though I hated the American-idol run to the presidency - complete with e-mail campaigns to call in your pledge - I was struck by how much you young ones wanted to get involved in politics. -And, you know, understand things. Such as, the economy of the US of America. And stuff.

Pretty much the only thing that we agreed upon was that spending needs to stop going on unchecked. The difference is that I blamed the Democratic congress, and you blamed Bush.
No matter. Bush is about to leave.

Which leaves us with your president-elect, who up until recently, was preaching against spending away our children's future with deficit spending. And stuff.

So could we both get on board here, and stop this ONE TRILLION DOLLARS in NEW SPENDING that the incoming moneybags-in-chief is proposing???
And stuff?
Or is your children's future suddenly not as important, because that was all BS, and you never believed it for one second?
