Interesting Fact

I just read a very interesting fact that really puts or priorities, during the election in perspective. One out of every 733 births results in a child with Downs Syndrome. Compare that to our current foreclosure rate of 1 in 1000.
We hear everyday about our struggling economy, which arguably can be linked to the actions of "responsible adults." Look at the credit card industry in which less than seven percent of all balances are actually past due. People bought mortgages they couldn't afford and charged balances they can't pay back. Yes it is true that many people's financial difficulties come from unforeseen circumstances, but they are curable with lifestyle cut backs.
Our children do not have this privilege. Imagine the good that could be done with the billions we are using to bail out "responsible adults," if we put that money to work to help those who had no choice.
As an upper middle class father of two daughters it would make more sense to me, but I am only footing the bill...these are my thoughts and I look forward to yours....
