What resources are they consuming that belong to you?

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

Wilderness areas.

Atmospheric composition.

Indirectly, ocean productivity.

Potable water, depending on where they live.

  1. None of that is yours.

  2. Everything they use their parents pay for, unless they are leaches who live on welfare.

  3. Taxes are the system by which leaches consume the product of other's labor.

  1. They belong to us all.

  2. No, some things they use being to the commons. Such as those things i listed.

  3. The US national debt is already damaging the economy. Your children will be better off if you started to pay it back.

  1. Then they owe you nothing for using it. Maybe you should be paying them to use it.

  2. The national debt was incured by jews printing money and stuffing their pockets. You can't "pay it off" because the printers keep printing.

They're becoming depleted.

Maybe you should be paying them to use it.

Maybe. But until we can measure how much were depleting those resources globally, we have to consider what we can do.

The federal government is spending more than it earns. There's two possible end points. Default and economic collapse or bringing tax into line with spending.

Bailouts should not be considered "government spending". It is embezzlement. Untill that is stopped nothing else matters.

The proper thing to do is to collect all that money through force, jail the culprits and make sure it can't happen again.

Until that time it is stupid to suggest others should pay down the deficit.

A default on the default on the US debt would matter. TBH, it would matter more that cleaning out corruption, which is also important. (And in turn leads to the unnecessarily large and therefore expensive debt.
