like mine, and I'll go with it.

The Federal Government is overspending its budget so much it would be as if my husband and I mortgaged our land two or three times, took out signature loans at exorbitant interest, and had several credit cards maxed out. We'd have several cars that we bought at prices way over cost and that we are paying on with interest ten times the value of the vehicles. We'd have an overpriced security system that doesn't really work and a cardboard "attack dog" and warning signs to put on our road, while our house was slowly falling apart due to problems in plumbing, wiring, and subfloors (infrastructure). We'd be paying way way way too much for health care, especially prescription drugs. Our grandchild would be given books that don't have any words on the pages, and taped lectures that only tell her how to pass tests, not how to think and reason for herself. Meanwhile the bankers would be bleeding us dry, and smiling all the while.

Don't know if this is a workable analogy or not, but hope it's a start.
