What is your proposal? acquiescence? You start thinking "smarter".

Off the top of my head, here;s an idea.

I suggest that were assign values to the largess.

We already have our children's futures mortgaged. Let's start assigning dollar figures to every bill that will have to be paid by our grandchildren (assuming we are not in default by then) and having an up or down vote if you want your grandchildren saddled with the debt for this latest grandiose scheme invented in Washington for the benefit of the Washington establishment.

If I were King, I would change the CBO rules forcing them to assign a specific dollar amount, based on age demographics, that each citizen incurred for the spending and debt to be paid over their lifetime.

i.e.
Age 80 --- $2,000
Age 60 -- $20,000
Age 40 -- $200,000
Age 20 -- $$2,000,000
Age 0 --- $20,000,000

Yes, I just pulled those numbers out of my *** for a point of illustration, but the fact remains, we are broke! We must make the people understand that simple fact! We can't keep on pushing our debt off into the future, because the future is our children and grandchildren and we are screwing the very people we claim to love the most.

A smart strategy is to illustrate that.

So at what point do we disagree? You have not made that clear. You kill the animal or cut off it's food supply.
