Government tackles fat kids

Fat kid management at the highest levels.

The federal government has done such an outstanding job of managing its bloated budget, fixing our health care system, and regulating our banking system that they have free time on their hands.  Michelle Obama announced today that she is taking on the challenge of taking a few pounds off our fat kids.    

The assumption that the federal government should solve every one of our problems is in itself a problem.  Fat kids are a challenge but their parents need to solve it, not the federal government.

 We need our government to keep it simple and work on those few matters that only they can solve, like an unsustainable federal deficit, a bankruptcy system for our states and improving our financial regulations and health care structure.  Once they get those problems cleaned up then I invite them to come back and let’s discuss solving obesity in children.  But even then I would undoubtedly tell them to leave us alone.
