i have been to a few of Ron Paul’s campus visits and its like going to a rock concert….loud!
young people see what the end of this long and winding road has in store for them.. they will have to work harder, longer, even less job security, no real wage growth and a lifestyle less fitting than any generation previous. not too mention loss of more basic liberties.
we have $60 trillion in entitlements due in the next 20 years, we are already $9 trillion in debt and borrowing more than $3 billion a day to pay for our warfare-welfare state. where are we going to get $60+ trillion????
then the Federal Reserve just prints money out of thin air to come up with all the shortfall in our spending. this causing inflation which lowers the value of our dollar and spending power. this is called the inflation tax. a distribution of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich.
all the above spell doom and gloom for our country’s future, especially our young. in the NY Post(10/31/07) NYC Mayor Bloomberg is forecasting this very scenario and has issued a warning. unfortunately too many are just laughing it away.
the problem is neither party candidates have a solution. the Democrats will tax and spend us to oblivion, while the neo-cons will borrow and spend us to ruin. i see both being utilized by both parties. they love power and YOU love “free” stuff. it will all come to an end, all too soon.
this is why young people are rallying behind Ron Paul. they know, they see and they want to fix it NOW.
