John McCain is traipsing around various media outlets spewing his reasoning that he can't support the stimulus bill because it's "generational theft"- stealing from future generations because of the deficit spending involved. Three points:
1.) Isn't it great how it's not "generational theft" to rack up huge deficits by giving big tax cuts to the rich and spending tons of money on an unnecessary war?
2.) As a member of a "future generation" (or at least future vis a vis John McCain), I can tell you that most of us are perfectly happy to have a stimulus package passed- especially those of us who've just been laid off or are looking for a start in life. I'll also bet that the millions of children of parents who are being laid off in the recession would prefer a stimulus bill.
3.) Again, as a member of a "future generation," I'll remind McCain that he's about the least credible spokesman for this theory, given that people under 30 supported Obama over him 66-31.
