You know how other cities have had city-wide weight-reducing challenges? I think Kansas City should start a national trend and have a debt-reducing challenge with another city.
Every household would do what it takes to reduce their own debt. The combined “weight loss” would be measured, and we would see which city was taking bigger steps to regain individual financial control.
This economic crisis has scared me straight. No more needless purchasing on borrowed funds anymore!
If we want the government to tighten up, let’s start at home. Anyone else up for the challenge?

Cool.. So I can go into debt as much as the City can?
Nice... So that means I should be able to spend say 10 Bentley Continental GTC's ($190k) autos for 10 of my friends. That would still put me under the light rail bill.
