Stealing From The Next Generation

Many people don't view it this way but in our deficit living, we are stealing from the next generation.  Nothing is free, all this free stuff our politicians want to give us is not free, it is stealing from those that come after us. One of the candidates in talking about forgiving student loan debts was asked by a father that worked several jobs to put his kids through college and would he be reimbursed for putting his kids through college without student loans. No, he was told. He can expect to now pay for the other student loans through higher taxes. Anyone should be able to see how that is not fair. He pays for his own children by working two jobs or more to keep them out of debt and then when they are through college to have to pay for the student loans of other kids through higher taxes. It is just another form of hidden taxation, all the interest that accumulates on the student loans. When it is forgiven someone will pay, it may once again be piled on the next generation that comes behind us. The point here is to look at all the ways we as a society are stealing from our grandkids. To make our lives better with free stuff, the debt our grandchildren and beyond will have to pay just keeps growing. We are stealing from the next generations with our government's deficit spending. I believe if we tried to get a handle on it, it would take hundreds of years to put our nation back in the black. How many generations have we stolen from? It is a personal problem as well, I have debt I have no business having. I remember the years when I only bought a vehicle I could pay cash for.  Home mortgages make sense, some debt is OK. Often we pay less on a mortgage than rent would cost. Of course, some of that depends on the size of our house. Stealing is still stealing, whether it is a white color crime, or blue color crime or deficit spending. We just haven't looked at it that way. But deficit spending is stealing from the next generation. They will pay for our theft in higher taxes. Now that is something to think about and consider in this next election. Nothing is free, all the free stuff our politicians want to give us is paid for in taxes we and the next generation will pay.  We really are stealing from our offspring. God bless, LVZ. That is my opinion  and I am sticking to it. I think our best hope of fixing our nation is term limits. Both political sides are guilty.
Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. Ephesians 4:28

The Bible teaches us to be others-centered rather than self-centered.
