"The tragedy of the commons" = society's future generations

The concept is originally used to describe the depletion/destruction of a shared resource like the fish in the oceans or the forests on earth etc.

Seems like it applies to "debt burden on our children" or exploiting "children" as a resource as well.

How?

Well, in the form of mountains of debt, high taxes to pay off such mountains of public debts and lowered disposable income and thus lowered quality of life for the children and their own children and so on and so forth.

And Japan is exacerbating the problem by having fewer and fewer numbers of the "children resource" to exploit, hmmm...........
