Our country is like the guy down the street, good job, new house, couple of new SUV's in the drive, hangs out at the country club. Dresses to the nines.

Makes good money, looks rich, but he's lucky to pay the interest.

Then you take the old farmer, driving a POS rusted out old PU, tobacco juice down the side of it, looks like Jeeter from "Tobacco Road".

But he owns a thousand acres, a thousand cows, $100,000 John Deere FWD with all of the implements, and sits of the Board of Directors at the local bank.

We need to be electing old farmers instead of bullshit artists.

not that I disagree with the sentiment of your post but I know lot's of these farm folks and as much as I love them, and I do but not one of them did not have the farm handed down.

I have to agree with TD on this one.

My point was that the government can't manage OUR money, no matter how much they have, they spend it and then take on more debt. And WE are on the hook for the debt.

As to the old farmer, he doesn't go into debt for a bunch of crap he doesn't need, buys assets which he does need, and remains fiscally sound. And he still owns the farm.

The moral to this story is that our elected officials need to be more thrifty with OUR funds. If it's not already too late.
