@NurseRatched The government can't afford to do most of what it's doing. It should be taking considerably more from taxpayers than it is as a result.
I'm not saying paying more taxes is a good thing, but basically what we have right now is we're getting a bunch of government services we never intend to pay for, and that's going to leave our kids paying for it.
Some people might disagree with me on this, but I feel that indenturing your children into a lifetime of debt so you can get money is basically selling your kids into slavery.
To me, the ideal would be to raise taxes and lower spending and actually pay for some of the "free stuff" we've been getting. So-called "experts" might say "But that might hurt!" and I'd reply that it hurting is the point! There is no free ride.
It might be too late. If it is too late, then it won't matter anyway because taxes will be going up imminently, program spending will go down extraordinarily, and we'll be sending all of our blood sweat and tears to bankers who happily funded all of our "free stuff" along the way.
