Montana suffers from other inarguable examples of future debt – in the
form of real money, millions of dollars – being handed off to future
generations. And those who complain loudest about government deficits
are often complicit. State environmental regulators, prodded by
conservative, deficit-hawk politicians and activists, continue to
approve mining operations that create pollution in perpetuity. And
because pollution has costs, it is being addressed by simply handing the
problem to future Montanans. The examples are many and include
contemporary mines.
