i remember in the 80's hearing that the the US was paying for essential services such as fire brigades, bridge maintenance etc etc , etc etc etc... on the projected tax incomes of three generations hence.

that is the taxes they "project" will be payed by great grandchildren.

its a bit like the WalMart story, even though people know deep down inside that the chain is killing local manufacturers....they still shop there because a buck is a buck. the personal payoff/self gratification of getting the item 50 bucks cheaper, outweighs the greater long term implications obviously inherent in the practise
