I children as props for their poll political agenda that we saw the president do that today with as it got agenda.
And it's always struck me as I guess it struck you that no one ever brings that kids up to the stage -- To talk about their enormous -- which really is a a form of taxation without representation when you think about it because they're gonna pay the bills for things that they never voted on.
And so I like this stable lot I think it's something that -- That both parties should really pick up out especially Republicans if they want up it has to have this fight with the president on the duct sealing up what are we do what about the kids that you care so much about.
You know Charlie you represent young people to sort of get there.
Mine to to what's going on right now on the possibility that a lot of entitlements they're thinking will will be -- all right just as their parents or grandparents right might not be around.
On that they should pay close attention is because there's share of this burden will be greater.
What reaction do you get from from other young folks when they hear you say that.
A lot of young people nowadays don't really care but as you saw on November when the election was -- -- social issues they won't even have to think about this.

There's an inherit so much money that we've never even had a chance to -- We're gonna have to pay that off through taxes through working after hours.

About these issues and they're gonna have to face a hard reality soon when they graduate college the job market as it is unemployment is so high that they're gonna have to have a decision.
They're gonna make other gonna go find a job than -- -- -- -- their parents and now unfortunately more markets -- living with their parents but.
Young people have to wake up and President Obama is using children as a prop to politicize a terrible terrible tragedy for his favor.
But Republicans can India learn a lesson what I think in the same thing for debt -- What if they quite a young children saying we'll present Obama wants to continue to borrow trillions of dollars a year it is it's a two sided coin I think Republicans can learn a lot for.
But you know -- the interesting thing about this.
Is that they've got what you're talking about the kids.
We're really talking about the end of course the -- The people by the sixers all their time or fifteen years all but don't particularly we're talking about generations and haven't even been born yet absolute right here by kids -- are still the gleam in the higher right.
