At a high school in North Nashua, N.H, on Tuesday President Obama lectured the audience on some rather breathtaking insights concerning the values of self-restraint and self-discipline:

"When times are tough, you tighten your belts" said the President. "You don't go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college. You prioritize. You make tough choices."

"President Obama's own budget confesses that it would more than triple the national debt from $5.8 trillion at the end of 2008 to $18.6 trillion by 2020. Indeed, it would almost double the national debt in just four years from 2008, to $11.5 trillion in 2012. The budget also confesses that under President Obama's first three years, 2009-2011, the federal government will borrow over $4.2 trillion. As the Wall Street Journal reported last week, ‘That is more than the entire accumulated national debt for the first 225 years of U.S. history.'"
