(Government obligations are much worse than you probably think)

That’s really depressing as I figure Obama had already sold the souls of all my great-great grandchildren’s souls!

“souls of all my great-great grandchildren’s souls”

It’s going to happen much sooner than that. Your great great grandchildren won’t even be born in America. Amerika is all that’ll be here for maybe a few years more.

I recall a sci-fi novel I read in the ‘70s. I think it was written by Phillip K. Dick. Part of the story involved our protagonist landing on a planet where there was a society of excessive affluence. People spent and lived as they wished without regard to cost. When asked how they could afford it, it turned out they were incurring debt that would be repaid by the person’s 9th generation of descendants. Of course, outside the city were a bunch of miserable poor people living in squalor, and we found out that they were the 9th generation who were living as deadbeats, refusing to pay the just obligations of their ancestors.

The classic Sci-Fi authors had a way of expressing editorial comment on our society, sometimes well ahead of its time.
