Adults no better than tweakers when it comes to exploiting children

Slate has a story about how adults are legally running up charges on their kids' credit.

I had a client whose husband got credit cards in his infant son's name so that he could use the credit cards for cash advances to buy meth. We look on in horror when things like this happen.

Why is it that we don't view it with the same horror and shock when our politicians offer us the same deal (to make our children pay for our excesses), but in a legal fashion?

We don't because we are self-centered and really don't give a crap.

It's all about me....isn't it?
