I inherited money from my parents, but also did not inherit any debt from them. My ancestors also contributed knowledge to our world. My ancestors also contributed many advances in the health and treatment of same. I am sorry, but I fail to see why we also get to leave much debt to our children and grandchildren when this has not happened in previous generations. Presently, we want to spend much monies on the treatment of Parkinsons. In the past, we spent much monies on the treatment of such things like Polio and Diabetes and Smallpox. If there was no limit as to how much money we could spend on research, we would probably have a cure for everything, even the common cold. Money, however, is not limitless.
