I spend a good deal of effort helping out the 'younger' members of my extended family (I came from a family as one of 6 children, and they all have kids and now some grandkids as well).
My concern is not for myself, but for those grandchildren ... who will wind up having to live with the consequences of the policy decisions and financial chicanery which are taking place right now. I do not want to see those grandchildren robbed of an opportunity for a better life because their parents will become so heavily taxed that it is no longer possible to send them to college. I do not want to see those grandchildren robbed of a better life because US dollar inflation and real estate deflation has converted their parents' net worth into pocket change. I do not want to see those grandchildren robbed of a better life because a future permanent underclass imbues all of future American society with crime / drugs / fear on top of world economy poverty levels. Most of all, I do not want to see those grandchildren enduring the eventual 'solution' to making the USA great again - i.e. World War 3 ! This is the reason that I try to bring attention to what's REALLY going on in the USA, in the vain hope that enough people will recognize the risky path this country is turning toward.
