This borrowing $ and putting on our children has been going on for thousands of years. It’s Not fair to put it on our parents and grandparents, they were just going along for the ride, just like us.
I play bluegrass a few times a week with some of the most wonderful people in the world, mostly country folks. I’ve also had private dinners in Europe with CEOs of huge multinational corporations. I was married to a teacher for over 20 years, her teacher friends were my friends. He entire family worked for the government and all on big fat pensions now. I grew up as blue collar as you can get. Did you ever do piece work on a punch press, pre OSHA? I’ve known people from ALL walks of life. I’ve lived outside my zip code.
When I’m at a function, any function, and someone complains about the debt the first question I ask is.....
How many here get a check from the government? In one way or the other, virtually everyone gets $ from the govt and almost universally, they think their benefit is earned, owed to them.
I’ve said it before, forget about the debt. No one in their right mind thinks that’s ever gonna get repaid, gimme a break.
Think of the debt like living in CA. On the Earthquake fault. We all know it’s coming, just hope we die before it happens.
Pretty pathetic way to approach things. Human nature is a powerful thing.
