I fail to see what was illogical about my comment. Every generation passes debt on to the next generation and it will always be that way.

You mentioned the roads. Did your grandparents think that roads lasted forever and would never have to be maintained? In our generation, most parents taught us to be responsible and to stand on our own two feet and not depend on someone footing the bill for things we should be taking care of during our lifetime.

It appears like so many of the current generation, judging from your comment, it appears you think the kids of today should be handed everything on a silver platter. Most of them share this "entitlement" which they never actually earned.
