    To spend on other things at that time, with a promise it would   
    be there 20 or 30 or 40 years in the future.   
      
    It will make no positive difference at all, and will likely do   
    great harm. Too bad it's so far into the future. If it was so   
    necessary, so good, why not make it effective immediately? Why   
    wait 20 years?
