Cafe patron Dave Bieler sends this link to a U.S. government site bearing the headline "Financial Literacy: The Federal Government's Role in Empowering Americans to Make Sound Financial Choices"

A lifetime spent spending other people's money does not instill any knowledge of financial responsibility.
