Tapped out

What is all the complicated mystery to this "financial crisis?"

No mystery. We're tapped out.

Except for the billion-plus dollars of contributions we willfully sent to the political campaigns, which may, if we are lucky and fortunate and careful and at least a little bit humble be the best investment we ever made.

And I do mean EVER.

Besides all that credit card generosity, we're pretty much tapped out.

How could we borrow forever? Reagan showed us the way, but it seems it could only last about... oh... say... 28 years.

When the party is over it's got to be paid for.

And we're paying now.

And we will pay. We'll pay.
