19. They'll get it from...
...the retiring baby boom middle and lower classes through marked reduction in social security and medicare benefits, collapsed pensions, collapsing home values, and rising unemployment. They'll get it from our children and grandchildren in the form of interest and principle payments on exploding deficits as payments made to the top 1% of the U.S. that, after 26 years of intense class war, now own better than 57% of all stocks and bonds. Our children and grandchildren will live a markedly diminished quality of life because of illegal and immoral Bush adventurism and outright murder and theft. Bush will go down as the Nero of our age, as our personal Caligula. The PNAC vision of empire will implode from within as the failing Enlightenment-based social contract known as the "United States of America" rots out from within and we're left to pay for bread with wheelbarrows of inflated dollars. 50% of us will still blame whatever scapegoat of the day they're told to blame by our "leaders" and MSM. And those will be the good times, followed by global warming-induced hurricanes, tornadoes, rising sea levels, failing crops, rapidly declining oil production, and Malthusian die-off. Like Bush said, "in the long run we're all dead!". Thank every Republican you see for this dystopia they blindly usher in. Such is the result of unfettered greed and criminal blindness to anyone not them.
