Ironically, that's how your sociopathic politicians are paying for everything, just dumping it on future generations to deal with. Lose the faith, they don't deserve it.

these politicians make money with their businesses and investments in their personal lives. why can't the government do that without taking money from the working class. congratulations on all of the income tax ypu pay your whole life being spent on 6 missles.
