"Mommy, when I grow up, I want to help pay down the national debt," just doesn't ring true with me.
Maybe if you want them to be accountants. Last time I checked though, accountants weren't helping pushing the technological envelope in to many areas in science.
Besides, I'm not all that concerned about the national debt. What realy matters is its size as a percentage of GDP. And in that light,we're no were near record levels.
So, I take it you are an astronaut!

How does this sound? Dad, if your generation did not piss away all that money, I wouldn't be in a 80% tax bracket.

This a great statement. What happens when GDP starts to grow at a slower rate than debt, or better yet GDP collapses. Your debt does not shrink as GDP shrinks.
You obviously are not an accountant either.
