    I also think that most dumbasses have no idea of what a low quality of life most grandchildren are to have before them.

    Unless they're smart enough to change the name from "debt ceiling" to "previous odius debt ceiling". Leave them alone while they beat their swords and plowshares into hard specie that they can trust, and their prospects for the future might just look a bit brighter.

    "If current trends continue, the typical U.S. worker will be considerably more productive several decades from now. Thus, one might argue that letting future generations bear the burden of population aging is appropriate, as they will likely be richer than we are, even taking that burden into account." - Ben Bernanke, October 4, 2006
    And from that "odius debt ceiling" they can hang pictures in effigy of those who specifically called for saddling them with that debt (on the premise that they would likely have more money than past generations, no less! Talk about class envy through a generation gap!)

    What gets me the most is that we are already in a world of hurt and the politicians act like nothing is wrong. Toss some money over to some foreign countries, start a couple new wars, lob out a few more Homeland Security grants....

I think it's an opportunity to be independent minded. We are about 99% the same on issues." "People Try To Drive Wedges Between Rand And Me." --Ron Paul

    Translation from Keynesians left and right: "We still have our magic wand and our blank checks! Give 'er the gas, rev 'er up, put 'er through her paces, mo money mo money mo money!"

    Translation from (??): "No more playing and losing a tug-o-war that cannot be won. Time to stop fighting it, and bring this festering boil to a head, once and for all."
