Yes, he was.

When you cannot make the interest payment on the loan in your private life what happens to you?

Think about it.

it can be paid back but the sad reality is we are unwilling to make the necessary sacrifices to do so. Congress is arguing about $40 billion in cuts and the news is going on and on about every person who will be affected and it will ruin the economy etc. 50 years ago, we didnt have all the government subsidies, projects, etc not to mention, the absurd taxes on everything from food, phones, cables, building permits, road permits, wheel tax, food tax, alcohol tax, IRS, etc. our budget for the year is $3.5 trillion and we are acting like a lousy $40 billion is going to kill people? hell, we need to cut 1 trillion out of the budget, not $40 billion. and yes, it will hurt people, cost jobs and change peoples lifestyle but it is necessary!

we can. A positive attitude isn't enough and doesn't always win. Combine it with will and effort and you have a chance. This is the greatest country in the world and we can do anything we set our minds to. We may have to experience a little pain or have a fire lit under our arse but we will do what needs to be done.

Defeatism never wins, and frankly is ugly. If you (rhetorical not anyone specific) don't beleive we are the greatest country, do beleive our best days are behind us, or that the american dream is dead.... I feel sorry for you (rhetorical not anyone specific). Life would be pretty bleak if you really deeply beleive that... and there are options. Either do something about it (not bitch and moan but actually do something to make the country or the world a better place) or get out of the way.

It is very telling about what goes on inside people.

I feel the same way when folks say the next generation is lost, sucks etc. That's not what I see.

My kids and the kids I see at their school are pretty remarkable. They ae doing some things in high school I didn't do until college (if at all, although admittedly I'm probably not the best benchmark since I am the insperaiton behind swingblade). Yes they are different from my generation just as I am different than the one before me. I also suspect every generation feels this way about the next. curmudgerism - get over it. LOL

Compare the current group of American teens and twenty-somethings to those of the 70's and 80s (and 90s)
And I think as a group they grade out ahead of the curve.

This is obscured, though, by the sheer level and magnitude of "outliers" ie absolute F^(#tards

Yeah, just like I said "Think About It" and you twisted it all up into what I want others to believe...missed the mark completely. Not even close.

Those kids are slaves to a debt they had no part of. They had no voice in it. Their future has been robbed!

When you're in debt to the point of 100% GDP it is game over. The amount is staggering, yet people want to watch American Idol and believe their vote there means far more than a vote every 4 and 6 years.

Bury your head in the sand while waving a flag with your feet. It's NOT going to solve the issue. Now once again I ask the questions...

When you cannot make the interest payment on the loan in your private life what happens to you?

You continue to prove my point. I've already stated numerous times that there are issues that must be addressed and you can't stick your head in the sand. The US must address things and I believe we will.

You do not have a monopoly on understanding this issue. I'd guess many on here grasp it as well or better than you. I respect your opinion and understanding of the issue but am amused that you seem to think that anyone who does not fall exactly in line with your thinking is somehow not thinking or even burring their head in the sand. It's an interesting paradox to me. Not an uncommon one but an amusing one none the less.

I think our best days are ahead of us. That is not a mutually exclusive statement that suggests we do not have changes to make and work to do. I've never seen anything great arise from an "our best days are behind us but we may as well try".

Maybe you are right. It is possible, I just don't think it's probable. And if having more faith than you in this great country is wrong I'm cool with that. The American dream is dead mantra to me is the equivalent of whiney defeatism. To you it may appear 100% accurate thus to not agree must be some sort of bury your head cheerleading. Maybe you are right, but I'd suggest that if you are so certain you are right that "they" must just be blind, usually "they" are not the ones who need to begin thinking.
