I am so tired of the 'wealthiest nation on earth stuff'.  If you are carrying massive debts you are not rich.

I'm paying for their pre-school myself.  Crazy concept, I know.

THe problem is this is usually brought up as a justification to expand entitlements or government assistance of some sort so the Government's position is the problem.

When did Obama suddenly go hardcore centrist?  Not that I'm complaining- I'm actually hoping it lasts longer than the news channels' coverage after the speech.  There was a lot of "private sector needs to pick up the slack" in the economy parts of the speech.  Companies refusing to pay more than fed. min. wage, lenders denying credible borrowers... definitely paints a bleak picture.
Experience bij!

And whatever state program we have that gives those lazy-ass parents a card to swipe at the place where I pay full price.

When quantifying total wealth it does. Some of our assets and liabilities by necessity are held by the government.
