Do you think we should be grateful for the $80 trillion the debt will cost the younger generations? From a shrinking tax base and less income averages in the future?
Your children are heading towards a man made apocalypse, solely built by overspending.
Solely built by boomer overspending.
You need to put the blame where it belongs. That would be the U.S. Government...more specifically Democrats and limp wristed Republicans.
well let’s just let the sky fall why don’t we
Here’s something to consider:
You know what’s amazing about the USA and boomers? In the last 60 years, Boomers have taken on the debt of WW2, SoK, Vietnam, rebuilding Europe and Asia, eating sand in the Middle East, walking on the Moon and developing a technological society the likes of which the world has never seen. How did we do it? We produced unique things. And people wanted those things. And we (boomers) still have enough wealth to spend like drunken sailors on our bucket list.
By the time we boomers die, some of us will have built wealth. That wealth goes to end of life care, things that make our not-so-mobile lives easier, bucket lists while we can still walk, a charity that benefits many people or animals, and our ungrateful children.
In America anything is possible. Invent something. Write something. Create something. Re-create yourself. It’s what Americans have done for 400 years. Why should that change now? Have you seen the wage bracket for robotic engineers? (I know, I keep pushing that.)
Beijing is lit up like a christmas tree 24/7 - like America, they’re producing for a world where 70% of the population is just beginning to afford a 60” flat screen tv. That’s a huge pool of spenders who are going to want more things. The smartest thing millies can do is not figure out how to ‘detach’ by living in a tent in the woods, cooking over a wood fire and eating squirrels ala middle ages. It is to realize the world is their oyster and to put away childhood fantasies and go get some instead of being negative about the future because mom and dad aren’t rich enough, or they grew up an only child or an orphan or without a dog, or life sucks, or some other nonsensical mental block to success.
You should shut up & sit down.
