True story
Eventually you will pay for your diversions. Hell, we'll all pay in the long run.
Everyone loves to blame someone for the economy when it is bad. The funny thing is that the economy usually does what it does regardless of who is in control politically. We have seen some of our biggest economic growth during times of very high taxation, and we've seen it at times when we had very low taxation. We've seen good times and bad, regardless of government spending. The economy has a life of it's own, and while it can be somewhat influenced by economic policy, government action rarely has a long or lasting effect on the economy.
The economy is cyclical, and what goes up must come down and vice versa. We are currently in the middle of a very long downturn in the economy. It is going to turn though, and it's going to be big, in fact it's going to be very big. There are about 75 million reasons this is going to happen.
This.
The economy is a living, breathing entity, almost alive. It has its ups and downs. When its down, the government tries to help it (and in the current POTUS case, failing hilariously), but ultimately, it'll bounce back. It always does.
We have 75 million people aged twenty to thirty-five who have put off starting families or just aren't to that point yet. No matter what the economic obstacles, eventually the younger generation is going to start having kids, and when they do, it will create massive demand for all kinds of products and services. By 2020, the economy is going to be in the middle of a very long boom.
