Blaming the wrong people
This article is true enough, but I cannot accept that the politicians are solely to blame.
They (politicians) are elected and are beholden to the voters, at least in Australia.
Politicians can try and educate the voter and make the best decisions for our future children, but the voters will rebel when they realise they are the ones who have to pay the price for a future that was not of their making with nothing to be gained from it.
A child born today will be able to vote in the year 2043 and will be a taxpayer till he or she is 75 in the year 2100.
We have covered our eyes for too long and continue to do so. History tells us we do nothing until it is forced upon us, so where does that leave us today and tomorrow?
