I'd say when our kids graduate from college (mine are 6, 3, 1), and before they start their careers, they find out they are each $200,000 in the hole because of decisions made by the previous 3 generations...that's when much freedom is lost. And I can't see how we avoid that. And one political side seemingly could care less.

Imagine going to a restaurant. You sit at the table. You are ready to enjoy the meal. The waitress hands you the bill from the people who just left that table and says "the people who just left this table ran up a huge tab, and you have to pay it before you can order your drinks".

How would you like that? How is that not what we're doing to our kids?
