Indeed, in these times and this society where dogs have becomes children of choice and troubled and alienated youth slaughter each other in streets, schools and on college campuses, and many parents play only the limited role of doting ATM's, Kemet's teachings on our obligations to our children and future generations offer needed moral insight and instruction. The Husia, the sacred text of ancient Egypt, says that we should cherish our children, but also challenge them to do Maat (rightness, good) in the world, that we should 'teach them the righteous ways of the ancestors" and "do for them all that is good." Moreover, it says "Everyone teaches as s/he acts." Therefore, "Set a good example; Uphold Maat and your children will thrive." Indeed, "the result of doing good deeds is a fortune ...

TO THE EDITORS: The liberal-progressive movement is built on health care, Social Security and income redistribution. But, these programs are going bankrupt and have been instrumental in amassing at least $54 trillion in unsustainable federal debt and unfunded obligations that future generations will have to pay, according to the Treasury Department's "2008 Financial Report of the United States Government.

Assessing fiscal policy from the perspective of intergenerational equity presents substantial problems. There are genuine limitations on the ability to measure intergenerational effects and, importantly, a fundamental arbitrariness in defining the relevant framework. Even a perfect measurement of intergenerational effects, however, remains useless without a robust norm of intergenerational equity to evaluate whether those measured effects are fair. And yet the question is overwhelmingly important. Fiscal policy affects people alive today and people who will be alive in the future, and we cannot responsibly make decisions about those policy matters in ignorance or disregard of how they affect future generations. The question of intergenerational equity in fiscal policy is hardly misplace...

It is a waste of taxpayer money to bailout Detroit's Big Three auto companies. These companies have been in secular decline for at least two generations. Their automobiles have been less fuel efficient, of lower quality, less inspiring and more expensive than the automobiles of foreign-owned competitors. Back in the 1980s, the government bailed out Chrysler. Now Chrysler, accompanied by GM and Ford, is back at the public trough. iPublic bailouts of failing com- panies only postpone the inevitable demise of these companies. Let the creative destructive force of this recession euthanize an inefficient group of companies by forcing them to reorganize or go out of business. Since the federal government is debating the size and form of a bailout, let us examine the rationale for a public bai...
