I was born in 1970. Heh.
When I was a kid, we left the house at the crack of dawn and got home when the street lights came on. We never checked in unless we had a broken bone, even that was iffy.
Besides that, my Depression-Era grandparents raised me. They had strict rules about morality and responsibility but virtually no rules when it came to “You can’t do that. You’ll shoot yer eye out!”
I was blessed. I was loved more than I could stand and experienced things that most people my age will never know or understand.
The government is 18T in debt with over 200T in obligations. Who do you think is going to pay that off? The people. It is the people who serve the government’s debt. As such they are the government’s asset, it’s property. No one is allowed to endanger the government’s property and its ability to service its debts.
