People Unclear on the Concept, Hall of Fame Edition

Mimi Hall, writing in the USA Today, is unclear on the concept.

WASHINGTON — The federal budget deficit will hit a record $1.6 trillion this year, a figure that could threaten President Obama's agenda, complicate 2010 congressional campaigns and set up big political battles over government spending.

Here's our response, in the form of an open letter.

Dear Mimi,

You owe that money. President Obama is spending your money and your children's money. I'm glad you're worried about his political prospects. While you continue to do so, please get out your checkbook and begin writing checks to pay off the debt.

Sincerely,
K T Cat and Jacob the Syrian Hamster
