I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. – Thomas Jefferson

Bonnie Baby Bonds

Posted by uncajake on October 2, 2007

We’re saved! Hillary has come up with a plan to save our children! Let’s give every baby a $5,000.00 bond for college! I’m sure that all of the people out here who don’t have any children will be happy to pony up their share in order to make sure that little Johnny has $5 grand when he gets ready for college.

Hmmm, wait a minute, there might be some other benefit to collecting taxes from everyone for these bonds, this money will have to be placed in an interest bearing account somewhere or otherwise placed where the government can’t spend it. . .sort of like Social Security. I suppose it is merely a coincidence that this comes at about the same time that the Social Security fund is expected to go broke.

As Ronald Reagan said,

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are I’m from the government and I’m here to help.

Beware!
