Tell that to my BIL, a 49 year old engineer, laid off from a Fortune 500 company three years ago. 21 years there. The best he has been able to get in that time is temp work in warehouses for a few months at a time. He is fit, able and eager to work at any job. No dice for people over 45. He is a rock solid conservative.
He didn't sow any wind, Jerk.
The fact is that the baby boomers got their education subsidized, got the government to give them all sorts of goodies, regardless of the damage they were doing to future generations.
The baby boomer generation could have stopped the debt from getting impossibly big, as they stopped Vietnam, but their subsidized living was more important to that generation than the consequences.
Would it be nice if the consequences of liberalism could fall on those who are liberal-minded? Sure, but the rain has always fallen on the good and evil.
Don’t call me jerk. I didn’t play a part in creating this mess to the same degree anybody 45 years or older played. I just get to live with the consequences.
