It has nothing to do with "lack of education" about the consequences...
It has everything to do with the expectation of being bailed out by a government that will give them someone else's money if they squander their own....just to buy their vote for a lifetime.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
