Oh, boy!

Clinton recently floated the idea of issuing a $5,000 bond to each baby born in the United States to help pay for college and a first home, but it immediately inspired Republican ridicule and she quickly said she would not implement the proposal.

She defended that decision yesterday, saying she is focusing on proposals with more political support and she is not formally proposing anything she can’t fund without increasing the deficit: “I have a million ideas. The country can’t afford them all.”

A favorite line from “Swiss Family Robinson” comes to mind… to paraphrase: “It is amazing what you can do without when you don’t have people coming around feeling sorry for you.”

The Country can’t afford the liberal ideas we currently “under-fund” and over-spend taxpayer monies on.  That aside for a moment, the very idea that we nead more social spending is offensive.  We are Americans. We understand the responsibility that comes with liberty and we are fully capable of taking full responsibility for our own well-being… well at least the majority of us anyways.  Mrs. Clinton, thanks, but no thanks.  Liberty is far more valuable than all your one million ideas put together.

Just thinking outloud here.
