Trump shrugs off future debt crisis: ‘I won’t be here’

I was considering Ramen, but thought there was a chance of them knowing how to use the microwave to boil water.

I don't think they can handle opening the seasoning packets. That's why they buy quinoa by the 5 gallon bucket at the local health food store.

All y'all have is looking down at people and talking smack, convincing yourselves that you're better. You have no answers. This is why conservatism is dying.

The answer is deep, across the board cuts in spending. But no one has the political will and they wouldn’t be popular with the electorate as people want government programs but don’t want to pay for them so Congress borrows the money and the Federal Reserve prints money and those elected keep the mess going as a result and hopes the day of reckoning doesn’t happen on their watch

Those who are dismissive of the negative impacts of too much debt should look at what happened in Southern Europe or Detroit here. And keep an eye on the looming pension crisis especially in states like CA.

And, a restoration of western culture.  Western culture is what has allowed us to be valued as individuals, to live the lives we do today and to virtually eliminate obligate poverty. 

There are many forces combined now to destroy western culture from the social justice movement, to 3rd wave feminism, to anti-white groups, environmentalism, AGW and of course the move towards socialism.

Right, well, if our young people keep lagging behind we're going to lose our place in the world. That's the bottom line. Uncle Sam isn't going to give back the coin purse. It is crucial that the next couple of generations of Americans get ahead of the curve. Your refusal to waiver in the face of the entire world changing is admirable, but at this point you're just standing in the way and wasting the time of the people that will shape America's future.

Being given things isn't "getting ahead of the curve".  Y'all have screwed the pooch by believing that degrees in social justice and man bashing is worth more than the paper the diploma is printed on.  Tell your buds to stop being bleep ups and go learn some useful information and apply it to real world problems. That's how you set the curve that the rest of the world will be trying to catch up to.

You've convinced yourself of lies if you think making it easier/cheaper to receive higher education will make young people lazy and useless. You are so incredibly out of touch that you actually think millennials are not working hard. You have no idea what you're talking about.

This is the generation that will finally vote to take our 401k or whatever other retirement savings we have worked hard to squirrel away because it's not fair that they have to work as hard (or God forbid harder in some cases) as we have to save it.

Thankfully I've instilled a better work ethic and aa sense of what it means to be successful in my kids than 99% of the snowflakes their age.

You have no idea what 21 trillion is, and it’s obvious you’ve never heard of the Southern European debt crisis, unfunded liabilities, forced austerity, future state public employee pension crisis which is promises made to city and state public employee’s retirement which won’t be able to be kept, ect ect

You just know you want what you want and , by God, you should get it regardless if it can be realistically paid for or without weighing the pros and cons. That’s the difference between adult thought processes and that of a child

Sooner or later America will have a public option for college and it won't destroy society. You're wasting everybody's time.

Actually what most of us have here on average...is 25-30 more years of real word experience than you currently have.

We have the answers based on life and failure and picking ourselves back up and trying again and again until we were/are successful.

You and most of your generation just don't want to listen to the answers because they will require you to go after what you want instead of having it handed to you.

Real life doesn't hand out trophies just for showing up.

Older people constantly underestimate how out of touch they are with things. Old people should be respected and listened to, but the young people with vision that change the world need to continue doing what they've always done.

Sooner or later we'll be doing what Europe has been doing for a long time. Young people are strong and they have vision. Underestimate my generation all you want, but we and the ones that follow us will change the world for the better.

The fact that we're older means most of us heard the same "we'll fix the world" crap from our fellow young people back in the 1960s. Don't trust anyone over 30!

How'd that work out?

[LMAO]

Thankfully I've instilled a better work ethic and aa sense of what it means to be successful in my kids than 99% of the snowflakes their age.

 You know that this generation has a massive sense of entitlement? I have kids that are in this age group and even they agree

The reality is cuts are going to be forced one day.  The market will at some point force it.  People will whine about it, become angry about it, they’ll be fights in Congress over it, some will even hold their breath and turn blue until they get what they want. But the fact is, you cannot defeat math or a lot of economics… period

 Yes there are certain advantages the US has over  other countries. Our economy leads the world, our debt and dollar are safe Havens for investors,  and the dollar is the leading worlds reserve currency.  When we enter a debt crisis, the first signs of it will be in cities, then states. We will have states that will look more like Greece than the nation as a whole

European young people are these days by and large lazier and feel more of a sense of entitlement than their U.S. cousins.

Germany is currently importing muslims by the thousands not out of the goodness of their heart...but because they need laborers...people to do the jobs that Germans won't do.


I don't underestimate the generation of my two kids...I just don't over hype them the way that you do.

We are strong. You need to believe in us. There will always be useless and broken people. That is not our generation. The internet children are going to change the world for the better. The absolute best thing old people can do for young people is make the process of becoming educated easier and more efficient. When I am old I will fight for young people to have it better and easier than I did. It doesn't feel like y'all think that way and it's disappointing.

 This last sentence I think sums up everything nicely. This is the generation that never kept score, their self-esteem was more important than actually learning anything as kids, they were told their backpacks could be too heavy if they had to take homework home. I remember hearing the stories And wondering what would happen when these kids become  adult age? 

Well, you now see one of the most privileged and comforted age groups whining about how hard they have it than any other generation that came before them. But I am confident that time and experience in the real world will be the best teacher. Every generation  of young people believe they’re going to be the one’s changing the world  and that their vision is superior to anyone else who’s come before or who will come after them. You can have all the visions you want. It’s getting other people to go along with them is the difficult part

Think about how you were and 18 or 19 or 20 years old compared to now and your thought process
 today compared to how it was when you were young. Maturity, time, and real world experience shape that

Jumping in on a thread that I've only read the last page of is probably dangerous but I agree with you that it is up to us as parents to at least try to instill a work ethic and sense of responsibility into our children.  I am really proud of my two, both of whom have excelled by dint of hard work.

Perhaps. Or perhaps not. We could end up stagnating. But you seem excessively confident that your vision of how the world should be will be easy to implement upon others who may have a different vision
