What economic future? The social security I'm paying into but will never see? The trillions upon trillions of debt the country has that will never be paid off? The polarized and even dysfunctional tax and political systems that are contributing to the fiscal mess?
The lobbyists are the ones making most of the changes, for their benefit. Maybe I'm tainted because for me the political system doesn't work. It runs up debt, listens to the people who give them money for their campaign, and are afraid to do what they know needs to be done because of their next run for office.
Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative, right or left wing, meh.
