“Your payments are only as good as the next election.”
And you sound like a punk on a high horse.
Besides name calling, what is your criticism of what I posted? Do you believe the next generation is obligated to pay the debts of the previous generation? Do you believe that promises made by politicians are sacrosanct? The OP sounds sincere and her husband sounds like a saint. But they trusted politicians and now they are paying the price.
There is not enough money to pay for all of the promises that have been made and this lady’s lament will become very common.
