For the Next Generation Environmentalists often say that we have a duty not to leave an environmental mess for the next generation. Our point in this book is that we are in an economic mess that is leaving a huge bill for the next generation to face. That bill is into the trillions of dollars already. We must stop adding to that bill and live within our means. We must change the policies that prevent strong economic growth.
Growth is the next generation's only hope for any progress.
The legacy we are leaving our children violates the basic American sense of fairness.
