Thank kids for paying for our spending
May. 8, 2010 12:13 am
Government spending and a debt of trillions of dollars means that our kids, grandkids and their kids will be paying for it in the form of higher taxes, inflation and a lower standard of living for their entire lives.
Our generation has put this load on their shoulders by voting to give ourselves government money. The thing is, we are the government and all the money one way or another must come from us. This is not political, it's economics.
So, any time you see a kid at home, in a schoolyard of on the street, say thanks for taking care of our spending problem.
