Then again, this is the land where children, yet unborn, can be saddled with the debt of their grandparents.
My goodness, Taiwan is as bad as the US or Europe? That's
awful.
This isn't government debt or deficit. If a man borrowed some money to start a business and it went tits up, and then he dies, his children and grandchildren(even those still in their mothers womb)can be made to pay the money owing. The laws have only recently changed, where you have to go to court and declare you aren't looking to inherit anything. You also have to do the same for any potential heirs(your children yet unborn). However, that law was not made retroactive. If you were born 1 day before it passed...you're stuck with Grandma and Grandpa's bills.
