Steve had a cute small but slashing post a bit ago: We are all ‘Children’ to Their Government
When a progressive says “it’s for the children,” we picture kids. Considering how they’d like government to treat “grown-ups,” I think they are referring to everyone not just children under the age of “x.”
I think this comment by CaptDMO was a great addition to it:
When I hear any variation of “for the children”, I simply cite $20,000,000,000,000 debt for progressive socialism that must be paid by tomorrow’s lucky 50% of folks actually paying taxes.
Now THAT’S a Democrat legacy for “our” children!
Ayup – Progressives / Statists / Big Government types are ALL about spending money because “It’s for the Children!” but NEVER, in today’s national financial straits, ever mention that they are racking up these costs which those same children are gonna have to pay it back – with lots and lots of interest.
