Younger People, You Realize that When Governments Always Spend More Than They Take In, It Create a Debt that You Will Likely Have to Pay?

The old people will be dead and you will pay the bills.

When governments spend on non-essential things for the support of life, they are not investing in capital, but ideology. While you may gain rights and privileges related to lifestyle, you could loose the ability to undertake the things you need to live (ie jobs, housing, food, transport, retirement, etc).

Increased taxes will not work on the rich, because those with means will just move their money to lower tax places. Where the money goes, investment will increase. Money goes to where it can make the most money.

The young people will be old people one day and then their children will have to pay...it's normal, debt will always rise but is not a problem as long as you can pay the interest back....like buying a car on hp, as long as you can make the payments, you don't have a problem...

@Platinum Over 50% of Canadian households would not be able to survive without the next paycheck. That is idiotic, got to watch your spending.

@Platinum Or save up so you can survive in case of a problem. The same way governments should.
