A whopping 63% of Americans now believe our children will be worse off than we are
Pessimism, and poverty. It's the New Normal.
For the first time in a very long time, Americans aren't so sure their kids will have better lives than they do.
That's according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll that shows just one in three people believe "most children in this country will grow up to be better off" than their parents. (A whopping 63 percent said their kids will be worse off.) Not only are those numbers stunning but they are also a stunning reversal from CNN data at the end of the last century (1999 to be exact) -- when two thirds of Americans predicted that children would grow up to have it better than their parents.
Gee, I wonder what's happened between 1999 and now?
Oh, right, Hope and Change!
Barack Obama has put America onto the wrong track. He's derailed the America dream. His policies sow poverty and discord. And his legacy will leave our children worse off than us.
It's time to dust off this Robert Heinlein quote again.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck."
Mister we could use a man like Ronald Reagan again.
