Let's start with your comment re: a grandson who already owes the government over $50,000.
I think if our convo extended enough we could come to the same conclusion that the basic problem here is that BOTH Dems & Republican congressmen & POTUS(es) -- with Dems being the far worse culprits -- have refused in recent times...I'd say since the Gingrich "Contract with America" that ran out...what? 16 years ago?
So for a decade-and-a-half we've had leaders on both sides (again, with Dems being far worse) who have refused to "bite the bullet" NOW!
Instead, they have chosen to mortgage future generations.
Well, just as that is true financially and budget-wise, the same Waterloo is before us now re: the size of govt, re: appointing liberal judges, re: abortion, etc.
We have TWO mainstream liberal candidates running. And just as our Congressional/POtus leaders have refused to bit the bullet financially over these past 16 years, we now see the same is true of many conservative voters (re: size of govt, social-issues, socialized healthcare, endorsing idolatry, moral issues, etc.)
They don't want to "bite the political bullet" in 2012.
They want to pass on the problem of RINOs to future generations.
They want to pass on the problem of pro-abortion (Rs) to future generations.
They want to pass on the problem of big-govt POTUS candidates to future generations.
They want to pass on the problem of socialism to future generations.
So.
Just stop complaining then about Dems who refuse to "bite the bullet" re: budgets and socialized healthcare and protecting the next generation emerging from the womb.
Why? Because you've embraced somebody who's a Dem photocopy of these very same issues.
