We Are Robbing Our Grandchildren

This year, Uncle Sam is spending $1 trillion more than he has. If you have children or grandchildren (or plan to have such), this fact should scare you to death. Right now, we are mortgaging our childrens' future, so that old people can get free medical care and free retirement income (no, the Supreme Court has ruled that Social Security is not a contract, but just another welfare program like foodstamps).

Do you care about the future of your children and grandchildren? Do you wish them to have a bright, prosperous future? Do you wish to saddle them with heavy debts that will make them poor when they are forced to finally settle the bills that paid for your benefits?

Surely, those who are receiving or soon to receive Medicare and SSI are willing to accept reductions in their current benefits, so that their descendants will not be impoverished?
