“By doing just a little every day, I can gradually let the task completely overwhelm me.”

5 stars for humor which we will badly need for the next 4 years.

A funny ! It took me a moment or two, thinking he was being misquoted, then I realized his point. I would have said "permit" rather than "let," not that "let is incorrect, for many's the time I've " let the task overwhelm me " !

This is the strategy of Congress, too. Spend more than you bring in, decade after decade, until the whole thing comes crashing down on the People. And ignore the problem until you are forced to borrow freshly created money out of thin air -- how long can this possibly go on?

So that's my problem!

(-: me too ;-)
