What happens is your interest rates continue to climb and fewer and fewer people are willing to finance your little party, and then eventually they come in and they take that nice car and house away from you and you start your life over without said house and car or the ability to borrow money for a significant chunk of the rest of your life. You are carrying on your life not grounded in reality and I dont care what anyone says, more spending on Loop parks (and not even new parks, but rather an already existing park that the mayor is just sort of aesthetically "eh" about) is a piss poor use of limited resources. You are part of the problem, and you cant even step outside yourself to see it. Reality is you'll be long dead and the next generation (i.e. ME) will be the ones picking up the tab from your kegger. Just like youre blaming the prior generation...
