FOR THE CHILDREN

“So what is the best thing America could do ‘for the children’? Well, it could try not to make the same mistake as most of the rest of the Western world and avoid bequeathing the next generation a system of unsustainable entitlements that turns the entire nation into a giant Ponzi scheme... And so in a democratic system today’s electors vote to keep the government gravy coming and leave it to tomorrow for ‘the children’ to worry about. That’s the real ‘war on children’ —and every time you add a new entitlement to the budget you make it less and less likely they’ll win it.”
