President Barack Obama, who has increased the national debt by $53,377 per household, has proclaimed April “National Financial Capability Month,” during which his administration will do things such as teach young people “how to budget responsibly."Or as many people around the web are calling it "April Fools!"
“I call upon all Americans to observe this month with programs and activities to improve their understanding of financial principles and practices,” Obama said in an official proclamation released Friday.
Let's be a little fair to him; in his personal life, he practices what he preaches, keeping his own expenses low by getting his wife an ear-marked position at the University of Chicago while he was Senator, and having the country pick up an enormous bill for the their vacation travel.
It would be nice if he practiced this fiscal discipline with the nation's money, too.
