It’s pretty much a demographic problem. I don’t think my own children will kill me but when grandchildren come along, I’m not turning my back on them ..... our growth rate isn’t really all that bad, but I doubt they will appreciate being handed the huge bill for the last several years.
The Greeks don’t have any kids to tie their debt tin can on to. A lot of German women have decided not to have children, so same-same, and Germany is supposed to be the EU `powerhouse.’
The main reason Europe has gotten away so long with `cradle-to-grave’ spending is that we were paying for their security. Now their biggest problems are internal, the old: `We imported mongooses (mongeese?) to kill the flying carnivorous lizards, then baboons to kill the mongeese and now the baboons are hunting us ... ‘ dilemma.
All of this (except the immediate bizarre baboon analogy) is from Steyn’s `America: Armageddon.’
The clock is ticking and yeah, we’re pretty much doomed. All of us.
Well, I’m going to go lay a hardwood floor. Work that Americans won’t do, doncha know. BLOAT.

What else can yo do?
On the plus side, we’ll be the ones to clean up the liberals’ mess, and be criticised for it. Something to look forward to.
