It is crap like this that feeds the angst (evident in this thread) of GenX. The GenX and younger folks strongly tend fiscal conservative, and that neither party is interested in shutting down the gravy train leaves them without a party they are really happy with.
It has come up time and again in discussions in my daily life (and the majority of the business people I interact with are GenX it seems): the current political system looks very much like two groups of Boomers fighting over a gravy train they created by spending the money of future generations. This is a pervasive impression of GenX age people no matter which party they nominally affiliate themselves with
Thank you! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! You hit the nail on the head.
All you have to do is look at the illegal invasion from mexico. I think it is hurting all generations but it is really hitting X,Y, and Z.
Where is the outcry? These people are about to get SS which XYZ will pay for but noone from ZYX is out on the streets marching and screaming bloody murder. They are just bitching about how the boomers are greedy and raped them.
Well, get up, get out and start fighting back. I bet 40%+ of the boomers will join you because we are not all only worried about ourselves. Most of us care about our children and their children.
The politicians are screwing everyone, just like they screwed the boomers and they screwed the gens before that.
Go to Cal and look at the props that the people voted on and then judicial activists overturned. Their was a recent one on involving illegals. I forget the details. Look at gay marriage which America is against but judicial activist are making it legal anyway.
Many boomers voted against things that they knew would hurt their country and their children but it did not do any good.
The politicians are your real enemy. They sell the future down the river for the short term to keep their greedy asses in power. All fed, state, county employees have a different retirement plan then SS. They protect themselves and liberals are mostly in power in gov. because of AA and the fact that many people go into gov.org because they get a cushy job in which they dont have to worry about competition. They dont work hard to climb up the ladder.
