Billy,
It should be a "wash." They will inherit both ends of our i.o.u.'s. The money
debt will be owned by our descendents. Our descendents will owe the money debt.
Your descendents may owe money to my descendents, or vice-versa. The more
important items are not measured in money. We can leave them the knowledge and
skills developed in our time period which, combined with the knowledge we
inherited
from our ancestors, will lead to better lives for them and their descendents.
Research dollars are not just for us. They can be for us and the millions who
follow us.
Will
