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 and previous articles.
Don't count me as one who wants you to pay for it. I switched over to a line of work that I can enjoy doing until the day I drop dead. And when my body stops working, its time to check out of Hotel Earth with some dignity.
The only thing I favor increasing the deficit for is to fight our overseas enemies. It was good that previous generations borrowed and spent the money needed to win WWII, and the Cold War (what I call WW III). Now, if we have to go into hock to defeat Islam (WW IV), it makes a better world for the future generations of Americans.
If this guy is waiting for the Boomers to become a Great Generation, he is in for one hell of a disappointment. Like their counterparts in previous generational cycles of history, the Boomers will be spoiled brats until the last one of them is cold as clay. And the subsequent three generations will be paying for the debt they racked up during their party.
Our next example of the "Great Generation" (Hero archetype) is currently 0 to 20 years old (most of the men (and women) in Afghanistan and Iraq are either the older members of Gen-Y or younger members of Gen-X).
Since this Islamic War Against Civilization will probably continue for at least twenty more years, it is likely that this entire younger generation will be personally affected by it. If the nation survives, these Heroes will repeat the rebuilding process the world experienced in the 1950's.
Unfortunately, these Heroes will give birth to the next cycle of Boomer-type kids. If we teach them well, hopefully they will keep their boots regularly implanted in their kids' behinds to avoid a repeat of this century's disasterous liberal policies.
