“As we peer into society’s future, we – you and I, and our
government – must avoid the impulse to live only for today,
plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.”

 

~ President Dwight D. Eisenhower ~

As hard as it may be to swallow, we need to understand and accept that not everything is about us. Meaning, there are some issues we must start correcting straightaway, even though some of us will never see the full benefit of doing so. These are things like stabilizing Social Security and Medicare; safeguarding our environment; and investing in cutting-edge research and development as well as state-of-the-art infrastructure.

​

We are not doing these things just for ourselves. We are doing these things for our children and their children and their children. We seem to have forgotten that we are only temporary stewards of the United States of America. To say we have been inadequate in our role as guardians is a huge understatement. There are millions of people who have to live in this country long after we’re gone – and we must do right by them.

 

Are you ready, America? Let’s Gooooooo!!!! We can do this! And we’ll make this as easy breezy as we possibly can.
