What I’ve been saying for years. Divide up the costs, and send everyone a bill for what’s been spent so far. I’ll gladly send a check that day for my portion, then sit back and listen to the crapstorm that ensues.
Like so many other purchases people make, the cost isn’t made real to them because it’s been put on the credit card and they’ve been allowed to make low installment payments on it.
People reelected the government knowing it would lead to more war costs. So let’s all pay up. A lot of people would need to take out second mortgages to write such a check, and that’s not so easy since people have bought bigger houses than they could afford on easy terms that couldn’t last, and our government that we elected made it all worse by changing the bankruptcy laws and not keeping a watch on the banking industry. That sucks and all. But that’s no reason to push it all off to the future, plus interest. That just saves us from the consequences of our actions and keeps us from learning hard lessons from our mistakes, and ends up costing more in the future anyway.
