As a Gen Xer whose was born in 1966, one thing I noticed early on compared to the 'greatest generation' is their incredible narcissistic, self centeredness. I know that is redundant but they are so bad it deserves a description squared. Teachers are 955 of the time all about themselves. TEACHERS!!?? They don't care about a student learning. They care about old number one. Period.

That generation screwed mine in a million ways. We live with their shriveled up consequences in way too many ways. Honestly. I hate 'em. Sorry kids. I have friends that are boomers and loads of family but the fact is they robbed my generation of so much. Pigs. Needless to say I don't have many good things to say about 'em.

Too bad you aren't 3 years older, then you would be talking about yourself. Broad generalizations based on age is the stupidist thing I have ever heard in my life.

That time in the USA after the WWII generation started in the beginning of 1960.As a vet of WWII I saw it happening. My generation came out of the war very much determined to have the USA be the exceptional in history the Founders intended It to be especially for our children. However, we lost sight of the fact that over indulgence for the good life for our children , particularly if/when easy,was creating false entitlements for people, old and young including my generation. This environment of entitlements has grown to the extent that we as a Nation have welcomed many people throughout the entire world to come and share without their having to put much if anything into the economic pot. Politicians can argue and weigh costs vs spending vs revenues till hell freezes over but until they deal with the whole societal scene there will still be just wheel spinning. Of course having crooked public servants including congress and judges doen’t help matters.
