Sell Obama bonds to pay off debt

For the first time in my lifetime we have a fiscal mess that will be difficult to solve. Years ago when the government got in debt and one of the "evil wealthy" came up with big bucks and bailed them out, that must have been great!

But today we have a much bigger problem. But just suppose there is such a rich man and he had $14 trillion to bail out our spendthrift government. Of course, as a requirement, several changes would have to be made, but how would he be sure that the money would get to China, our loan shark, and not stolen by the crooks in Washington?

I've been asking around and nobody had a definitive answer! One man said, "Pay off China, or whoever directly." What? Do they have more honest crooks in the Chinese government? My thought was let's all get behind our government, and after the big change is made, we bail us out by buying government bonds. We could use our football money off Las Vegas winnings.

We could name the bonds "Obama Bonds" just as a reminder to never let this great country get in bad fiscal shape again! These bonds could be tax deductible.

This big change must be made in Washington. First, the new leaders must pass an intelligent test and a common sense test and at least know the value of a trillion dollars. As a punishment, the first time they vote to overdraw on the government's treasure trove, we drag them from the back of a horse on a long rope until there is nothing left but the knot!

Of course, our wonderful spendthrift leaders, being replaced, should be made to sell these Obama Bonds until the debt is paid off! Most of them are more suited to be used car salesmen anyway!
