Trash Can Jenga

When our son was in college he lived off campus for one year. He had a roommate who was a really nice guy (now married to my niece). Guys aren’t known to be the best housekeepers . . . but they played a game I never heard of. They called it “Trash Can Jenga.” They would pile things INto and ONto the kitchen trash can, until it was so full and so high that it eventually toppled over. The person who placed the “last straw” that made it topple was the “loser” and had to take out the trash.

I think our politicians are play “Trash Can Jenga” with our government. They are piling up the national debt, and our Social Security system has almost reached critical mass. Some call it the greatest Ponzi scheme ever.

There is a normal game of Jenga . . . . and there’s the game played by our politicians.

I know who the loser is . . . but who is going to clean up the mess?

Look HERE to read about the European version of financial Jenga, with the country of Greece is on the brink of insolvency (just like California).
