A new pledge for America

A new pledge for the 21st century:

I pledge subservience to the debt*
of the United States of America
and to our grandchildren
who will still be paying on it long after we're gone,
one nation, incapable, and unable
to balance spending with taxation,
so we get misery and indebtedness for all.

*$13 trillion, $611 billion, $281 million and counting, or $43,834 per resident, according to the National Debt Clock (www.usdebtclock.org) as of Oct. 19, 2010
