Look what the "best" generation has accomplished:
Financial and Environmental ruin for the sake of Nationalism!
YAY!!!

The U.S. fiscal gap, calculated (by us) using the Congressional Budget Office’s realistic long-term budget forecast — the Alternative Fiscal Scenario — is now $222 trillion. Last year, it was $211 trillion. The $11 trillion difference — this year’s true federal deficit — is 10 times larger than the official deficit and roughly as large as the entire stock of official debt in public hands.

We of course are not really talking about this. Oh we do talk about the $1 trillion+, more or less, that we add to the “official debt”, but nowhere is mentioned the growth in the actual liabilities — if, that is, you accept that things like Medicare are actual obligations.

Hint: They’re not.

When fully retired, 78 million baby boomers will collect, on average, more than 85 percent of per-capita gross domestic product ($40,000 in today’s dollars) in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits. Each passing year brings these outlays one year closer, which raises their present value.

No they won’t. Not because they won’t try to, but because the working people of the nation won’t pay it. If pressed that hard they will do what all people do when pressed hard enough — they will revolt, violently if necessary. The reason why is obvious and inescapable; nobody submits to being a slave voluntarily and communism doesn’t work as the quality and quantity of work drops as you try to put your boot on the people’s neck.

Ask young people about this — will you give up everything you earn and have so your Dear Old Dad can live in the way to which he is “entitled”, including all the medical care he wants despite being 300lbs and eating like a pig for the last 30 years?

Answer: No.

Compassion? Sure, especially for their own parents. But forcible extraction of literally every bit of value in the labor that working people have so that the “old farts” can sit in their ass and collect that to which they’re “entitled”?

Not a prayer in Hell.

That’s a problem.

The answer for the U.S. isn’t pretty. Closing the gap using taxes requires an immediate and permanent 64 percent increase in all federal taxes. Alternatively, the U.S. needs to cut, immediately and permanently, all federal purchases and transfer payments, including Social Security and Medicare benefits, by 40 percent. Or it can mix these terrible fiscal medicines with honey, namely radical fiscal reforms that make the economy much fairer and far stronger. What the government can’t do is pay its bills by spending more and taxing less. America’s children, whose futures are being rapidly destroyed, are smart enough to tell us this.

Actually, if we don’t cut this crap out they’re going to tell us with guns, pitchforks and torches — or simply by refusing to work at all.

This is the problem with confiscatory tax rates — they drive behavior. People say that “very few” people ever paid the 90% tax rates of years past. That’s true. Nobody made that much, on purpose.

You could set the tax rate over $250,000 at 100% if you wanted to. There are two problems with such a move — first, doing so wouldn’t close the deficit (there aren’t enough people who make over $250,000 and enough income to steal doing this to reach budget balance) but more importantly if you did this the next year nobody would make more than $249,999 since they would get to keep none of it!

What would that do to our economy? Good question; a lot of people would spend a lot of time at the beach instead of innovating and creating, I suspect. And while this might be good for the makers of rum and various other libations, I doubt very much the net economic effect would be positive.

Baby-boomers:
Your generation can get f*cked if you think we will work and fight for you anymore!!!

Oh, I missed the close.

That OP was a real nasty little bugger.



And so were some other gentexter tards.




Maybe this one won't be so nasty.

This is a psyop to get everybody drooling over cannibalistic austerity.

Expect more of it through the election and next year until they actually do it.

My mom just retired from an umbrella organization that funds a bunch of charities. These have now been infiltrated and infused with "kill off the useless eaters" people.

I picked up on that, I think Flintstone didn't.

We can afford to fund social security and pensions.

We can no longer afford globalism, and unending wars, and bank bailouts.

But we can tax those fuckers to top up social security and build infrastructure projects to get the productivity of this nation back where it was.

We aren't broke because we built too many houses.
