and which generation worked and gave the greatest generation their golden yrs?
The “greatest generation” is the one that came home and then broke the piggy bank voting for every expansion of the welfare state. By the time the boomers were of voting age the damage was long done.
Exactly...the greatest generation is living off the money we pay into entitlements. Without the “zero” generation, SS and Medicare would be broke.
IMO, the greatest generation is “addicted” to entitlements and use their voting bloc as a sort of blackmail everytime a politician mentions cutting entitlements.
