Excessive funding of children's wants: The true cause of our federal deficit

I've never had children — never wanted children — so maybe I'm not the proper person to speak on how to raise children.

However, maybe I can phrase child rearing in terms of our federal deficit, which currently is somewhere around $12 trillion, give or take a few trillion dollars.

I think child rearing in America is the cause of our federal deficit. To wit, our children here in America seem to be spoiled kids who then turn into spoiled teenagers who then turn into spoiled adults. Parents try to appease their children by giving them anything and everything they want, and when the parents are no longer around, or no longer financially able to give them anything and everything they want, the look to Government for those free handouts.

Is there any other nation where children get what they want when they want it? Perhaps if parents spent less time searching for the best price on the next newfangled gadget and taught their children to use their imagination and creativity, those same children would grow up creating and imagining good things for our society that we can then sell to other people and other nations. Just a thought.

As long as we have a culture where people want more than they give, who produce less than they consume, we'll be living in deficit times.
