You need to explain 2 things: 1) In capitalist economies there are good times as well as bad 2) In the good times, IGNORE what everyone else is doing and save as much as you can
Like this: 1. Children, don't ever vote for a Democrat or a Republican because this is what you get. 2. Don't listen to anything anyone says if they work in a whorehouse.
Did anyone else catch that in the poster its a white family and the ones in the soup line are all black?
I would tell them the truth instead of filling them with partisan political bullshit. leverage. Our economy took on too much debt. If they were a bit older I would make them do a simple math problem. Growth in GDP 4%(+/-) and the growth in debt 7% (+/-) since the early 1980's. (1*1.04)^29 less (1*1.07)^29 leaves a growing "debt load" that at some point is impossible to service.
