Generational indentured servitude is nothing to be proud of.
Those who say “so what” sound to me like those who have been bought off by the phony politicians and their lies.
Believing lies has consequences. They do hurt.
That is our financial economy. Or in a older term, now our political economy.
It is what this nation does. And will do more.
In Japan they have multi generation home loans. Your kids, even if they are now, say, two and three, are contracted to pay off your home loan.
Slaving, serfdom, indenturing is the economy. We live in the big plantation. Instead of being chained to a post, or in a mine, your are in exchange for higher return allowed to roam around and find a best fit, tax maximization occupation.
Every year the screws are tighten, each generation accustomed to every more control, and extraction. From the smallest incorporated town, to Fedgov, each where and when they can, tighten. Just this years federal borrowing, rounds out to near $15,000/per family. ( about 100 mil families ). Next year, $20,000, added to this years 15k and last years 15k. So, since the Bush/Obama borrowing, $50,000, in just these three years have been chained to families and their lives. These government forced elite borrowing may well go on for a decade, leaving each family with $150-$200K. Not including past debts, and entitlements.
Reality will break the proudest. Americans are pretty much addicted to suckling the state tit, and trading their bodies for cash.
