BG,
it is all part of the ‘entitlement’ culture and the short term views that most people have.
No sacrifice! The word austerity is not in their vocabulary….
“most Americans are only focused on the short-term because the mainstream media is only focused on the short-term. Things are good this week and things were good last week, so there is nothing to worry about, right”?
Many articles have been written that have interesting perspectives, but most people either want to dismiss them as nonsense or just ignore that they exist.
