Sadly, the generation(s) that have lived lavishly and have done all the cutting in previous decades for their benefit will be asking the rest to make more cuts for their welfare. We are supposed to be the good soldiers and take the hit for the betterment of 'everyone'. Left behind are future generations that will have to pay the bills of their predecessors for the first time in American history. Just like the $34.5T debt our beloved 70 and 80 years leave squandered about while proposing a 3T budget deficit for the coming year.
And yet here we are voting for which 80 year old isn't more worthless?
We are so far lost from reality that common sense is shunned aside as crazy.

pretty dam true i would say here. during Trump the debt rose $8 trillion, the present office holder is going to be an increase of over $10 trillion. i have no idea how this could possibly ever get paid off. through generation after the generation we are being taught to measure wealth by how much you owe, not how much you have saved.
