I have twin boys who will soon be thirteen.
My wife & I have tried our best to raise them right, to prepare them for adulthood as best we could.
Are they ready for it?
I guess that we will see in the coming months and years.
The one thing that we could not prepare them for though is what will be left to them, and their generation, by me and mine.
How in the hell will we, will they, ever pay down a $17.3 TRILLION debt that is only getting larger by the day with no end in sight?
How will they handle the unfunded entitlements that will likely leave them and their friends with next to nothing to show for what they might work for, what we and our parents and grandparents did work for? There will be nothing left of the security net for them.
This is despicable and unforgivable and, if they ask, I will have nothing to say.
Happy 13th birthday boys- I wonder what your 23rd & 33rd will be like…
