While I wasn’t around in the Roman times, I do know the melding idea in the here and now might not be the same. The America of my youth didn’t have dirty diapers left in parking lot spaces as there are now. The America of my youth didn’t have the foul language, sloppy/stripper look in attire for adults and kids. The America of my youth didn’t have the selfish, me first, give me attitude so previlent today. Maybe all of the above happened with the fall of Rome, but it sure sucks big time now.
But does the generation of your youth have the attitude?
Bluntly put: Would they give up claims on Medicare, Medicaid, and Social-Security if it meant the current and future generations would not be saddled with that debt?
