We have to start making all our decisions
with a multi-generational mind.

If we must suffer a hardship
so that our children and grandchildren can live free,
then let the hardship come.

Conversely, we should not enslave our children and grandchildren -
-under ONE TRILLION DOLLARS OF NEW DEBT
so that we may spare ourselves suffering in the short term.

WE allowed OUR lawless markets to create this mess.
It is for US to deal with. Not our children.

My children and unborn grandchildren,
who will live in slavery,
have no knowledge or understanding of the decisions
that are being made for their future.

The total debt we will leave our children is Eleven trillion dollars.

Eleven trillion dollars of debt will enslave
my children and grandchildren.
They have no say in the decisions
that we are making for their future.
We all know that none of the people
of this generation will be paying this back.

Let a recession come.
Or a depression.
These things pass in time.
Be it a year, or ten years.
Eleven Trillion Dollars of Debt will enslave entire generations of people who have NO SAY in this matter.

This generation allowed lawless markets to make this mess,
THIS generation should take the hit.



ENOUGH.
