The Us National Debt
a: The us national debt ~
b: passive child Abuse
What: Children who have been abused grow up feeling oppressed and constantly weighed upon. Their hearts are heavy and they often develop a mindset that diminishes their health and happiness. Public and private debt has the same affect in the economic realm. It is a huge burden heaped on the younger generations by the old. The 'Elders' of this generation have bequeathed to the younger people a form of economic abuse that will last the lifetime of the younger generation.

METAMIA is a free database of analogy
and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search.
The subject matter can be anything.
Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged.
The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with
the stark literalism of a relational database.
Metamia is like a girdle for your muses,
a cognitive girdle.
