Yikes! That was like reading the fine print on my mobile telephone plan, but, fortunately, I had AI to help me get through all the financial stuff I didn't understand. So, let me see if I now understand what you've written. We're in deep financial trouble, and we have only ourselves to blame. Thus, the "Own goal" comparison.
Thanks for taking the time to spell it out for those of us who are not as financially savvy as you are.
Everybody is very interested in money, but the nuts and bolts of economics can be very daunting for the average person. It reminds me of an LBJ quote. Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "Did you ever think that making a speech on economics is a lot like pissing down your leg? It seems hot to you, but it never does to anyone else."
Kudos to you for making a tough subject interesting.
Thanks for this JC. It should be required reading.
Buy now, pay later. Kick the can down the road.
We are such an unserious electorate, generally. And thus have gotten the government we vote for.
Or rather, we get the government that matches our electoral id.
