And The Children Shall Lead Us

Okay, maybe not the children, but at least the young adults.  Look what is happening in Egypt right now.  It is primarily the young people leading that revolt.  They are tired of the lack of jobs, the lack of decent wages, the high inflation, etc. that the current regime has handed them.  The Tunisian revolt was also led by young people.  And so it will be in the United States as well.

We have mortgaged our children's future.  We have left them a pile of debt so large that there is no hope of ever paying it off.  And we are still asking them to pay for our social security retirment and our medicare.

How do we expect our young adults, given their total number, to pay for all of the baby boomers that are retiring.  It isn't possible and once these young people realize that we have just kicked our debt can down the road to them, I expect them to finally begin protesting.  It's just a question of time.
