Look at Germany when a generation was paying for the mistakes of the previous generation, it helped kick start ww2. I think its safe to assume the next generation is going to be miffed.

Public debt is worse because mortgage debt has an asset attached (the house). Unfortunately no citizen can ask for his share of govt assets to be sold to cover his share of govt debt. Thus upon being born you are totally liable for your share of govt debts, but have an asset to put against your parents mortgage debt if you inherit it.

That's why I put it to the vote (having been too lazy to make up my own mind). From I hate the goverment on July 20, 2009 at 7:58 pm. It used to be that we talked of having mortages over 100 years, instead now we will have debt for ever. The goverment owns the banks, thus now owns a substancial property portfolio, making it impossible for anyone to pay a fair price for a property. They let this happen, they cannot hold on to status quo forever. From Tony on July 20, 2009 at 6:27 pm. They're too young to know it yet, but they owe it to the older generation.
