Xer Ping

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social aspects that directly effects Gen-Reagan/Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details.

It is more likely that more of them (or perhaps I should say "us," as I am a boomer) will become more conservative as they age, as is the case with most generations. You will always have the hold outs, of course, but I still predict a change of heart. In fact if Bush gets another term, the GOP holds the Hill and together can get some real results, we may see a great wave turn toward the right during his term. I have been waiting for it for some years. Remember that those just retiring were born just before WW2. has the decade unfolds the real first wave if boomers - those 55 now will start to see what has been wrought, and see it in their own adult children. The 2 successive waves after that - those that are 60 now and in their 40's will see that wave in front and it will be a cautionary tale. Life is odd, sometimes one completely changes ones views.

At least I hope so for the last thing we need is for another 30 years of a united, parasitic and retired block of voters and large as the boomers. They will still outvote the Xers.

It is clear what is needed: A reinvestment in the nation; a revitalization of American civiliztion. We must renew and store ourselves.

This can only happen by a reduction in government social spending and entitlement and a radical reduction in taxes and regulation. The next few years shall be crucial. You Xers should fight like mad against socialized medicine. If we have full socialization America will end up with an economy like those of France or Argentina.

Start building a movement now.
