Most of the legislation enabling these things you decry was passed by the "Greatest Generation," a group which, though the richest in history, is still leeching off the Boomers and Xers.

Absolutely right. The "Greatest Generation" was really the "Gullible Generation." That was a big advantage when fighting WWII and hopping off the boats into the withering fire of Nomandy beaches. It was a disaster after the war when they actually believed that the politicians had won the war and could do no wrong! Every wrong-headed government program was okay as long as some politician would promise them some goody for their votes. They must have believed in Santa and the Easter Bunny if they didn't see the utter flop that Social Security had to become in the future. They did not bring up the Boomer Generation to have the same standards as their parents had given them, letting the Boomers become the sad failures many have become as parents themselves. It will have to be a miracle of God to save our nation after the excesses of the last 50 years, and after the way we've treated Him, why should He care?
