"Grow up"?? Indeed...
What's happened here John, is that YOUR buddy-boy kept getting new credit cards & went on an 8 year spending binge..He just stashed the bills in the desk drawer, and now in a few short years, Obama is expected to pay off that huge debt...with what? You guys also crashed the economy, so there's even less income.
This scenario plays out in homes all over the country.. One person is "in charge" of paying bills, and if there's not enough money, that person sometimes just takes on more & more credit, thinking that somehow it will all work out..
There's usually a dramatic moment when the partner/spouse/parent, "finds" all those unopened statements, but by then it's too late because there just is no money to pay those bills.
A person can downsize their lives, move to a cheaper place, declare bankruptcy, sell a car, drop out of school, get a second job.. but a country can only raise taxes or eliminate services...or a combination of both.
The one thing that cannot be done is to punish the uninvolved people who had no part of running up the debt..
The "grown up" here is Obama who is trying to clean up a decade-long mess...a mess that Johnny-boy had a hand in creating every time he voted to give W everything he wanted and more..
