“Where were you, loser?”
Probably enjoying the student deferment and screwing hippie chicks.
He’s talking of the generational failure to steward our country and at least hand it to your children in as good a state as it was handed to you. The boomers, as a generation, absolutely failed on that count. The country has been economically ruined, possibly beyond repair, on their watch.
That’s just looking at the economic picture, not even considering other factors like morality, liberties, our standing in the world, etc.
You can say “Well, I didn’t do it”, but it’s not something any one individual did, so that is just an easy way out to avoid anyone taking responsbility for the failure.
Some gentle questions for the boomers beating their chests:
Can you honestly say that it is easier to succeed in the America you have handed your kids than it was in the America your parents handed you?
Do you think it’s easier now to afford a single family house than it is when you were starting out?
Is it easier to afford college now as compared to in the 1970s?
Is international competition a greater or a lesser threat to the American worker now as compared to the 1980s?
...and let’s not even talk about the national debt that the boomers are leaving their kids and grandkids...
Well I will say this I work for the state and the old timers are sucking the system dry. They retire with a big payout then return to their old job 3 months later becaus they are the “most qualified” only to receive retirement and salary. Quotation marks for sarcasm. They suck it dry to getall they can while we peons don’t get colas or raises. I can do my job better than someone walking in off the street that should be recognized. i call the boomers the hippie generation giving us unfunded obligations, abortion on demand and the control everything govt. other than Cruz Paul and a few others all boomer politicians are worse than worthless
I am not far behind you. But things have changed. Good luck finding a company that will keep you around 35 years and give you a pension these days (Unless you work for the govt). We reaped the benefit of the post WWII boom years. You could move out on your own after HS, survive on one income, work your way through college, and have job stability. It is harder today. It really is.
