If a family of 2 parents and 3 kids can’t afford a vacation...

I place economy among the first and most important virtues
and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared.

…we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.

Thomas Jefferson

If a family of 2 parents and 3 kids can’t afford a vacation,
and the parents decide on a family election, in which the 3 kids vote in favor,
who should accept responsibility when the parents can't pay the mortgage?

Are the parents our elected leaders?
