A lot of people did “buy in” to the plan.
They thought it would work.
They though it was a good idea.
What I am saying is that people didn’t get onboard with the express intention of fleecing future generations (as the author of the article seems think).
Yes, many people didn’t like it from the get go. But even among those that did, I don’t think they had evil intentions. They were just wrong. The author’s generation is going to have done wrong things too.
They were lied to.
