The backs we’re really putting this all on are those of our children, and unborn generations. We’ve blown through all our own credit and are now destroying theirs.
Any discussion of the debt which starts with a cry about curtailed benefits is a non-starter IMHO. We need to stop robbing those who have no say in the matter just so we can prop up an illusion of prosperity.
“No taxation without representation!” was a rallying cry at the founding of this nation. We’re taxing future generations. Who is representing them?
The military represents younger generations too. Who is representing them? look at Wall Street. You do understand that some of the younger retirees may lose all of their insurance? something they worked for? and please tell me what other groups have been cut? illegals? unions? congress? bailouts for greenies and on and on? who is being cut other than the military by the feds?
