But if you're under 50 or so, you know already... who do they think is going to fund their half-trillion dollar deficit this year? We're bankrupt in 10 years, and unlike the folks pulling on their Social Security, we hope to live through the next 10 or 20 years after that. They will be dead or securely sequestered when the bill for their excesses come due, and you and me (I assume by your handle you're no more than twice the average college student's age), we're the ones who get to be stuck with the tab. The mentality is nearly suicidal, really, and we're the ones who will have to clean up the mess.
It's not them who will have to watch our children learn Spanish to survive in the US. After now 16 consecutive years of the worst stewardship in American history - save perhaps only Carter - the jig is up. We who have been bled dry by their indulgence must now become their enemies to hold on what little yet runs in our veins. On that basis, I predict will happen is that over the next 20 years or so, ideology will start to matter a lot less than age.
The line will fall roughly somewhere between people who are 45 and 60 today, with of the usual range of exceptions; everyone will fall into two categories: those vested in the unsustainable and fantastical boomer entitlement society; and those who must necessarily be enslaved to maintain it.
