Sorry if it seems a bit off to comment on the non-cricket stuff on your post but what demagogic horseshit you can talk.
You say "In other words, some adults have lived longer and, yes, some children have survived, at the expense of future adults' life expectancy and future children's survival. That's how much we have borrowed from the future." Without defining 'some' this means nothing more than we've overspent a bit so we'd better rein it in a bit to get back on track (as you very well know). To go from that straight to banging on about halve the number of ambulances is pure meaningless rhetoric.
