There is no such thing as a free lunch.
The US gov't can not keep borrowing money year after year at infinitium until such time as you can not afford to pay even the interest on the debt.
At some point in the very near future, another president - not Bush and another Congress, not this one, will have some very serious economic decisions to make. The changes are going to be very harsh and felt by everyone, but there will be nothing he or she can do.
Those decisions will have a far greater effect on you than any $600.00 photo copier. |
Ah yes, but who cares about the future and the people who are going to get hit the hardest? When that happens I'll just blame the Dems.
And fuck my kids and grandkids who inherit this debt. They need to learn to take care of themselves. If they can't afford a college education, then they'll just have to work 40 hours at minimum wage, maybe get 2 jobs and they don't need any entertainment so no cable, no phone, no internet.... and they don't need a car. And if they get sick and have to pay those bills, it's their pwn damn fault. Of course their taxes will be higher than I ever paid, because I was a greedy fuck and wanted tax cuts when the nation couldn't afford them but I NEEDED my toys.
But good point, if you can't pay more in taxes when times are good, what the Hell are you going to do when times are bad AND HAVE to pay more taxes with fewer services?
