bs. That was not a generational thing, but a left right thing. The left has been running things most of the time since FDR. Blaming a whole generation is just a technique for shifting the blame, so that today’s leftists aren’t tagged with the blame for yesterday’s leftists.

It mostly certain is a generational thing, most young people today are just too stupid to pay attention and see the world being left behind by their aging parents.

What was the federal debt in 1980 when boomers started to take the reigns of leadership in this country compared to today?

What were wages like? How many illegals were in the country in 1980 compared to today? How many jobs had been shifted to China and Mexico in 1980 compared to today?

A lot of this current nonsense started with LBJ, and boomers were too young to vote then.

There is no generation that has paid more in taxes and then had it squandered than the boomers. Our monies have been stolen, our SS has been stolen, our property taxes have turned into rent and our sons and daughters died for nothing.

Don’t tell me our generation is worthless. We at least still show up for work on time as we can read a clock and we show up sober. We are still paying for your idiotic life style, sleeping in our basements, eating our food and driving our cars. You spend meaningless time surfing social media sites, playing electronic games and watching porn. You complain about no work available when you have wasted 5 years of your life getting a useless degree in the “mating cycle of the African tse tse fly” and “womens African studies” all along obtaining student loans worthy of a really nice house.

Maybe you should have been thrown out the door on your ass at 18 and gotten a job as a welders helper, a plumbers helper or maybe ditch digger.

The only thing we are guilty of is giving you too much. Too many cars, too much allowance, too many cell phones, too may trips and too much freedom hoping it would promote your independence and responsibility. We did fail.
