You 2 remind me of the joke--

A young man sitting next to a senior citizen starts ridiculing the elderly ..."You old guys didn't have anything anything growing up...no TV, no computers, no VCR's, no cell phones..."

The old guy said, "You're right! That's why we invented them."

Your point? Are we supposed to stick trillions of dollars of debts on people that have not even been born yet? That’s rich. Just because our elected officials mismanaged the budget for decades does that justify us ripping off future generations under the arrogant guise that they owe us?

BS

We can print more money which will not only destroy our currency but hasten a broader collapse.

We can rip off another country’s assets but that only gets you so far

We can continue to debt and leave future generations with nothing but bills to pay off

or we can get real and understand that as a nation we haven’t the means to pay for what we promised.

And, anyone who has voted Democrat, supported Bush’s unfunded expansion of Medicare, thought we could have tax cuts while increasing social spending and fighting two wars or demanded more senior benefits without targeting the means to pay for it, STFU.
