Read post 79, and every one of my posts to you.
There is something weird going on in your head.
Post 79 is irrelevant, as are most of your posts.
The Greatest Generation, with all its power, prestige and numbers, should have spoken up about the need to save Social Security and Medicare. If that group had defended Republican reformers like Newt Gingich, just as the Marines defended their country at Iwo Jima, Clinton would have run for cover. The scared female voters would have voted for the Republicans as the true saviors of entitlements.
You really don't care who votes republican and who votes democrat, something weird is going on in your head.
Post 79 tells you the facts, women, Catholics, and the under 30 were Clinton's support group.
Judging by the hate and rage and dishonesty of your posts, my guess is that you might fit all three of those categories, no wonder you want to ignore the facts.
So you agree with my point that the Greatest Generation should publicly support reforms in entitlements? How do you feel about raising the retirement age?
If you support republican efforts for reform, then learn to attack the democrat voters, not the republican voters.

yes, what you say is quite true. They do resist knowing it and that is a great fault of theirs. Did you know that the woman who created it, and was sec of labor at the time, was made a saint of the Episcopal church ? Not for any degree of union which is generally why saints become saints, but because she created social security. So, for them, it really was a kind of religion. Maybe that's why it is so difficult to let go of it.
Anyway, I think the truth does need to be said, over and over, but the animosity towards that generation is what I cringe over. If our country and our culture is to come out of this, we must speak the truth in love, and not in animosity.
Well stated, Red Boots. I’m sure ansell2 agrees, too.
As for the disreputable Episcopal Church, it is a travesty of the faith (what’s left of it) to canonize the founder of Social Security. Entitlements are bankrupting our nation, and could bring us all down, saints and otherwise.

Evidently you don’t even read my posts.

It’s called telling the truth, my friend. Tell the truth both sides. Tell the truth the dimwitted Dems who oppose entitlement reform. But also tell the truth to you and your elderly buddies. Deep down you feel guilty for living high on the hog for so long.
Our nation is drowning in entitlements. The cost of Social Security and Medicare are astronomical. Why don’t you and the rest of the Greatest Generation recognize that?
It is called you being a nutcase.
A good sign of that is you thinking that you are posting to a member of that age group.
Another is you being absolutely ignorant of how the age groups actually vote.
Don’t attack the age group that votes republican, attack the ones that votes against them.
The “greatest generation” is dying now. WWII vets are all on their last legs. My father was 16 in 45 when he joined and would be in his eighties today. Not many left.
The GG did not want to pay for things that needed paying and instead let SS turn into a disabilty system.
I am not sure they were the greatest, but frankly the boomers are the worst yet.
Don’t you think reform would be a lot easier if the Greatest Generation admitted the truth about themselves? Both sides, Republicans and Democrats, must admit the truth about entitlements.
Reform would be easier if everyone voted with the old people, not like the young Catholics, and women.
When the boomers (the Reagan Generation) finally emerged in politics, they checked the left, and started moving the country right, I hope you enjoy your restored second amendment rights, and the revived conservatism of the last 30 years.
I'm surprised that you prefer the generation that voted 66% for Obama and who is the most liberal in history and who will never vote republican.
So you think the old people would vote for reform?
I dont prefer either one of them. Boomers also have dismantled the public school system and have built the dysfuctional system that encourages parasiteism. They have developed horrific university systems, and have helped move all our manufactoring off shore. I am a boomer and I was there.
So, I am forced to sadly conclude that none of our politicians have any desire to attempt to change Social Security or Medicare. Yes, the seniors are in charge and as their numbers grow it will only get worse.
Social Security and Medicare are both totally unconstitutional, but none of our politicians are prepared to tell the truth about that or the necessary consequences (repeal). Not one.
America is second in manufacturing, I think that happened in 2011, they were always first before that.
You really just have no idea of how the different age groups vote do you?
For the umpteenth time, the over 65 vote is the most republican vote in America, the under 30 vote is the most anti-republican vote in America.
If you support reform, then make an effort to find out who votes with you and against you.
