Freedom is the by-product of economic surplus.
~ Aneurin Bevan (1897-1960), Welsh Secretary of State for Health and Social Care of the UK
I've often thought that my generation, Baby Boomers, benefited by growing up in a booming economy. Our ability to live how we chose, if we chose to, came from the cushion that the economy afforded us. Our labor wasn't needed & we made or took advantage of the Generation Gap to create our ow lives. Wouldn't have been possible if we had had debt or want.
