Kids will find out they've been robbed

Today your children have been taught, and your grandchildren are being taught, that when the prices are going up and jobs are being lost, it is the fault of those greedy capitalists and not the government; it's policies, and their printing presses.

The schools never mention the printing press. Do you remember asking mom for money and she says,'I don't have any", and you said, 'why don't you just write a check'?

Today, as adults, we have not gotten much smarter, we are still asking mommy to write a check. My relatives in the Czech Republic, all during the Communist years, would sit their children down after school and have them un-learn the Commie line they were being fed at school. When the wall came down they, and many others, were in the position to profit, (once a dirty word), from their freedom.

The debt has not disappeared; it is alive and well booked to your kids' indebtedness. Today we still have the same amount of debt, but it belongs to governments [us]. Normally, debt would get destroyed and turn to thin air. Debt is a mistake between lender and borrower, and both should suffer. But the government is socializing all these losses by transforming them into liabilities for your children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Easier to pass our losses to our children.

One reason most people are not worried is because in our government-mandated schools, economics is not considered to be important. The schools have turned out economically ignorant parents, ergo, children. They are listening to the polished politicians, who spin an economic fairy tale. Someday, the kids will find out that the government/parents have not only stolen from them but have taken their credit cards and ran them up past the max.
