Mountain of Debt

I am quite certain that this is not exactly what President Ronald Reagan meant when he spoke about “The Shining City on a Hill.”

From President Reagan’s Farewell Speech to the Nation:

I’ve spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don’t know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That’s how I saw it, and see it still.

How do you think the Democrats and Obama see their “City?” My guess is they see it as depicted above.
