——Yes-sir, this can just got kicked a few feet down the road.——
This is all so mind-numbingly and soul-crushingly pathetic. They’re going to get what they deserve, but sadly, so will we.
It’s pretty much a demographic problem. I don’t think my own children will kill me but when grandchildren come along, I’m not turning my back on them ..... our growth rate isn’t really all that bad, but I doubt they will appreciate being handed the huge bill for the last several years.
The Greeks don’t have any kids to tie their debt tin can on to. A lot of German women have decided not to have children, so same-same, and Germany is supposed to be the EU `powerhouse.’
The main reason Europe has gotten away so long with `cradle-to-grave’ spending is that we were paying for their security. Now their biggest problems are internal, the old: `We imported mongooses (mongeese?) to kill the flying carnivorous lizards, then baboons to kill the mongeese and now the baboons are hunting us ... ‘ dilemma.
All of this (except the immediate bizarre baboon analogy) is from Steyn’s `America: Armageddon.’
The clock is ticking and yeah, we’re pretty much doomed. All of us.
Well, I’m going to go lay a hardwood floor. Work that Americans won’t do, doncha know. BLOAT.
Who's to say we don't deserve it, too?
You get the government you vote for and then tolerate.
