We're doing it for the children

If I hear that phrase one more time I'm gonna scream! Why is it that everything we do as a nation, every thing anyone in government ever does, and anything anyone running for office ever campaigns on has to do with "doing it for the children...thanks, but my kid doesn't need the load! Avoid wars, avoiding hate, taking constructive action NOW, and just like in real life, living within your means, does more for the children than any hair brained long termed scheme any politician could ever come up with. Ask a banker if it's a good idea to feed your McDonalds habit by using your credit card? As your investment if it's a good idea to borrow money to invest in endless ponzi schemes? It's like people suggesting that we build this great roof to shelter the children, and then realizing down the road that the roof has no foundation and isn't worth the time and effort spent in building it. I think that whenever these bastards say that "doing it for the children" line, they know its a lie from the gitgo! Bastards, bastards all!
