“Government employees will continue to enjoy pay raises at our expense, as will anyone benefiting from the new wave of subsidies, such as Wall Street investment bankers, financial speculators, and those working in health care or education.”

A payoff so they keep their mouths shut ?

When we talk about future generations having a lower standard of living or when we say that we’re saddling our children with loads of debt that they’re going to have to spend their lives working to pay off — could someone explain to me what that literally would mean in practical terms?

What would that future look like compared to what we are today?

Thanks.

Gee whiz. I was really getting in to this post and already planning my insightful observation on the subject but you kept making my points. A great piece of writing.

When government regulation fails, the “cure” is always (surprise surprise) MORE governmental regulation. Basically, that has been the history of health care and education as well as banking. Paul “Nobel Laureate” Krugman is one the leaders of this movement (there is not ENOUGH stimulus or ENOUGH regulation, hence it fails…. )
