Nothing more than standard socialist talking points.
...inter-generational equity ...
The most glaring tip off, i.e. income redistribution.
Inter-generational equity is a valid concern. It has been raised by Tom Paine, e.g., do we cower and pass on the problem of this British tyranny to our children, or children's children, or deal with it today? What's a tell here is the new Rat theme of inter-generational equity, from the premier architects of the grand Ponzi scheme called Social Security. Before W tried feebly to reform that, he piled that huge mound of unfunded liabilities higher with the Senior Prescription Drug plan. To those that follow it was the Republicans, despite majority control of both houses and the White House, that did nothing to stop this from advancing, and even abetted it, thereby allowing Rats to flank them and double-back to falsely use traditional Republican fiscal responsibility language against them. Democrats thrive off of social envy, why not inter-generational envy? Those for whom that term will not seem to be mere rhetoric may not fondly remember the Bush administration, or how Republicans used their historically unique opportunity, at the expense of future generations.
The parallels to Rome seem relevant to me, regardless of the speaker's Clintonian background.
