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.
I agree, here is what I think happened. WWI and WW2 sent millions of Americans to Europe, and those soldiers brought back with them socialist ideas, and a degraded moral compass. Prior to those wars it would of been very unusual for anyone in America to have even left his state much less traveled to Europe.

What bothers me is these self rightous @astards like LBJ, Ted Kennedy and Murtha voted for these welfare state programs, died and left us the financial mess.
