You’re probably wondering why I've saddled you with huge taxes to pay for debts run up before you were born. As I write today, the total US debt is about 5 times the average personal income, about $250,000 per person, and growing, rapidly.
The reason is, fortunately for me, that I won’t be paying the debt off. Unfortunately for you, you will. You probably think this is unfair but by the
time you figure this out I’ll be dead.
Good luck with that.
