Boomers soaked up a lot of economic opportunity without bothering to preserve much for the generations to come. They burned a lot of cheap fossil fuels, filled the atmosphere with heat-trapping gases, and will probably never pay the costs of averting catastrophic climate change or helping their grandchildren adapt to a warmer world.

Hey doofas, your generation is the one spending trillions based on your misguided belief that we created climate change. And your generation is the one spending trillions on solar and wind power, which will never provide reliable energy or energy that is competitive with other forms of energy. And your generation is one that wants unfettered immigration, which lowers everyone else's standard of living, while maker our country less safe. The list goes on, but you should get my drift.

How many people in my generation are

1) In Congress?

2) The President?

3) On the Supereme Court?

4) Control state governments?

Again, compare the world of 1980 (when boomers started to come of age) to today.

Debt- 20 trillion up

Illegals- Poured into this country after the 1986 amnesty and nothing was done to stop it

Cost of college- Thanks to the boomers, every kid growing up in the ‘80s was considered “Special” and needed “Self esteem” so of course qualified or not they had to go to college. Boomer parents, rather then being responsible stewards and saying “save money to pay for it” co-signed student loans, helping increase the cost of college

Jobs being shipped overseas- NAFTA, signed by a boomer President with a boomer Congress cheering on.

Shall I go on?
