C'mon in twitter, let me tell you a story.
Sometimes the society tells you that you have an obligation to pay something, like child support, and you know you have this obligation...but it's inconvenient and you'd rather not.
I've seen this play out before.

I took this commission job for you and have struggled to make ends meet in hope I could provide more. Why are you so obsessed with $?
We cut taxes to help the ecomony and put $ back in your pocket. We thought it would work for growth, but YOU didn't spend enough.

I had to restructure my life to be a healthy parent with a safe car and less stress so I could be functional. Think about the vegetables, everyone loves veggies!
We passed this budget so that you would have a functional government, so the troops would get paid.

I have to stay within my budget. This stuff just can't be cut. I'M OBLIGATED! Do you want me to file bankruptcy because I've had to borrow everything from the kids piggy bank? They'll be fine and you can get another job for your needs. Why is this my problem?

We have to have a balanced budget. It's law! It's responsible! Our problem is social security/medicare/medicaid. We simply can't repay the $ or contribute more so we'll have to restructure it so it's there later. Some is better than none! Quit whining! Get a job!

When you set up a system to make it so you can't pay, it's very easy to make it look very rational. Not collecting enough, overspending, then demanding a budget that cuts your moral and legal obligations is crap. Don't fall for it.

Your representative should be... 1. Smart enough to see this coming 2. Compassionate enough to think it's wrong 3. Wise enough to do better We should be fiscally prudent. We should *not* manufacture a crisis through poor choices, play hero, then blame others.

Remember that right now we have exactly the government we deserve. If that doesn't work for you, choose different. Get educated. Get involved. Ask questions. Challenge your representatives. Vote wisely. Deserve the government we want. /end
