Born With Debt They Can Never Repay

Oh ... my bad ... that was a headline to an LA Times story.

I thought it was a story about my granddaughters' generation. My bad.

Then, I saw it was about Pakistan.

But one has to admit: when you see this, a quote from the article --
... a life of indentured servitude known as bonded labor. They must borrow to live, and their debts pass on to their children when they die ....
-- it certainly sounds like the future for our grandchildren. And their children. I can't make this stuff up.

"Bonded labor."

A guess the phrase I was thinking of is no longer politically correct.
