The Youth Will Pay In Blood, Sweat and Tears

Letter: Irresponsible Spending by Government is a Moral Issue

Young America Pay My Way.

I have never felt so good. Think about it kids. You are going to pay and pay and pay. That's right and do you know who you are paying for ?  People like me and many others of the older generation.  We have a 16.5 trillion dollar debt. Guess what kids ? It is rising and future generations will have to pay it down.  At present it looks like there is no end in sight.  At the very least in 10 years at the present rate it will  be over 22 Trillion dollars.Think about the interest on such an amount. Never mind the principal. That is pennies when all is said and done.This man in the White House and the liberal voting block in the Senate. Will not even consider spending as the problem. They are leading you down the garden path to poverty.  It is impossible to sustain what is unsustainable. All to appeal to the basic human failings of wanting something for nothing.  In order to expand the government until you have no identity as an individual. Thus stripped of human dignity and self worth.

The present policies that will cause future generations to pay the massive debt that is accumulating is folly. This kind of debt can not be paid in my life time your life time or any other life time. This kind of debt creates a vortex that drags down those who engage themselves in this irresponsible behavior. Supporting it or ignoring it will drag you down to where the perpetrators of it want you to be.  The recent claim that more taxes from the rich will enable us to pay down this monster that has been created. Is false and specious. Let me put in perspective what a trillion dollars is.  If I were to tell you to spend a million dollars at a 1000 dollars a day. It would take you a bit more than two years to do so. If you were to ex hast, by spending a  thousand dollars a day, a billion dollars. It would take you 2000 years to exhaust that sum.  If you were asked to do the same with a trillion dollars.  It would take 200,000 years. That is what a trillion is. It is an outrages sum. We hear the word Trillion so much that we are becoming desensitised.

Recent increases in taxes for the so called rich does nothing for  what is needed realistically.  It is a political gimmick and overly worn platitude. It won't be long before the middle class will be included in that defining platitude. This is definitely not the answer.  We must cut spending and act responsibly. Over and over this President has been told and advised to curb and cut spending.  The Simpson Bowles Commission. A bi partisan commission that he picked has been ignored and it's findings place aside not to be even considered.  Recently we have bee privy to understanding why. The President has stated that he does not think there is a spending problem. Neither does his recent nominee for the treasury. Whom among us in their logical and cognizant mind could entertain such a thought.  Do you?  So I want to say thank you ahead of time. To all of you young folk and your future off spring for allowing me to live off he fruits of your labors for many years to come. Suckers.
