We're on a budget?

        Now, you will need to follow me on this one. As the president comes from congress, and 

congress spends all of their time working on budgets, and the president needs to sign 

the budget or the country goes bankrupt; shouldn't a congressman (woman) have 

studied accounting rather than law?

If the government officials in Washington had even a clue how to balance a checkbook, ie budget

we would not be in the shape we are today. They might even know how to answer the  question

"Mom, how can you be broke? You still have checks?
