Ain’t gonna happen. The powers that be are simply going to kick the ball further down field for our kids to deal with.
But I’ll let you in on a bit of a dirty secret: the kids aren’t going to line up to pay the bill, either. You see, the kids who are growing up right now will have choices as well. In the short term, they’ll be able to vote with their pocket books. In the longer term, they’ll be able to vote with their ballots as the baby boomers start dying off. And ultimately, they will have the ability to vote with their feet.
Remember, most western countries are going through a population crash. In 20 years or so, a well-educated young person is going to be able to write their own ticket anywhere they want to write it.
What are you talking about, exactly? Young people moving to other countries? I don’t follow.
Africa is a continent where the USA never had a colony.
It's entirely up to those European nations that had colonies that truly worked, then abandoned them to the squalor that Africa has become. South Africa was the only nation that made economic sense, but thanks to communism and America's doo-gooders the nation is a complete mess.
There must be a CONSERVATIVE leader that will take a giant meat axe to the central government in the way the barber takes the clippers to the head of a new recruit. Leave enough to defend us, but eliminate practically everything else.
We need a leader and a party that will call the UN what it truly is: an utter failure and force it to move completely out of the United States. It is an evil haven for tin horns who see America as the only evil.
Try as they might, I think the problem we are seeing in the present credit crisis is that the credit card is maxed out. The powers that be have already started us on the path out of this; repudiation of the debt, which can be done in one of two ways, default, or inflation. Our lords and masters have chosen option 2.
In 20 years or so, a well-educated young person is going to be able to write their own ticket anywhere they want to write it.
I'm graduating next year with a degree in computer science from a top-50 university. There is no way that I will voluntarily pay the bill for the stupid liberals' charlie foxtrot.
As for writing my own ticket, with some graduate study in the same field and an MBA, I can write my own ticket in less than twenty years.
