40 years of growth has bred massive entitlement and complacency.
@TaxPawspective The have a gov debt problem like most western nations. That needs to be resolved. We all eat the medicine now, or it gets worse later.
The mostly boomer policy since 2012 fucked us on this. They fed china their future generations lunch for a cheap plasma TV. Now the bill is due
