A Turning Point

Spoons links to this column by Radley "The Agitator" Balko. It's about the deficit and the mighty vote-pandering going on, wherein our current politicians pass out entitlements like Tic Tacs to woo aging voters. As a member of the Libertarian wing of the Republican party, or perhaps the sane fringe of the Libertarian Party, I agreed with the sentiment until I hit this point, buried in the lead of Balko's column:
    A few of us had our taxes cut, but that hardly matters when government keeps spending the way it is. Sooner or later, the waiter will come by with the check, and it?s those of us under 30 who will be reaching for our wallets.
Under 30? You mean, I, being of the distinguished and learned age of 31 and 10.75/12, won't be on the hook?

Heck's pecs, politicos, pander to me, too. I want guaranteed Federally-subsidized Guinness, and a pizza a week, and could do with a couple of new t-shirts. What, do you want the poor elderly IT professionals to freeze? You heartless kids are ungrateful for all that Generation X has given you.

Don't trust anyone over 30.
