Your assessment is unfortunately quite accurate. The kid from Yale was so smug in his garbage about not being able to put a percent on how much of your money you should be allowed to keep. All this because of his ignorant notion that we get all the value back from the money we pay in taxes.
No concept of the severity of debt, interest to be paid in perpetuity of the debt, cost of paying bloated government employees with benefits and pensions, no logical correlation of what the cost of government work is vs. an objective assessment of the market-based value of those salaries. Don’t even get started on 94% non-essential status of EPA and Education departments. We need to assess the Agriculture, HHS, HUD, Bureau of Indian affairs, Interior, Commerce, and a whole lot of other wasted places. How about all the checks sent to dead people, visiting fraud and abuse in Food Stamps, and on and on... Sean didn’t think to confront these kids with Obama’s admission that all those shovel-ready jobs he promised weren’t shovel ready while he pissed away $860B on political payoffs and crap like Solyndra and windfarms.
Indoctrination such as these kids have absorbed can only be undone in the real world when they have to pay for it in real terms. The bill will come due.
They were also more interested in student loan legislation than our huge debt. What makes these arrogant smartass punks think we are supposed to pay for their college when they are the ones who signed on the dotted line to pay it back. Drop out and get a freakin job if you can’t afford college!
