No, we have to. to pay for our kids.
Ah, those of us born in 1962 must think alike. I hope it catches on. I just sent the following to my mother this morning who was whining about Social Security cuts, Medicaid cuts, hoping there would be no drilling in ANWR, etc.
....
Don’t know what you are talking about re Social Security and the Democrats. You can forward it to me if you want. Medicaid and social security will be protected for your generation. For mine, Norm’s and Nicole’s, however, we’re on our own. That’s fine with me. I don’t want the Government in my knickers. Hopefully more of our generation will feel the same way as there won’t be anything for us to ‘get’. As for Social Security, I’m mad that the Republicans won’t support the President and go to the mat for personal retirement savings accounts. Don’t really care about the Democratic view on this issue since the Party doesn’t support personal accounts. I am deeply disappointed that ANWR was removed from the bill and will be talking with my elected representatives if any were of the 50 Republicans that wanted it removed. I have already told my Senator I am for drilling of the coast of Florida outside 100 miles. But really all these issues are irrelevant if radical Islam continues to fester worldwide. Just my opinion of course.

Sad thing is, with the now almost mandatory employer health insurance, there is a big incentive to cull off as many older employees as possible.
And the flip side...
I brought you into this world and I can take you out.
Cheers to all! ;^)
Curious - can you take your arsenal w/ you to PI ?
We baby boomers reared too many kids without fathers out of our selfishness. It will come back to bite us.

The point WOMEN were choosing to abort babies long before it was legal...*Rosie* a woman my mother knew in the late 40's gave abortions with Lysol, Castille Soap and performed thousands before she was arressted, my aunt (Mom's sister) went to her 27 times and died at 37 she also had 6 children, her husband finally allowed her to get on the Pill but it was to late she died.
There is no doubt the baby boom generation will screw us when they get the chance. They screwed most of us by not giving us two-parent, loving, stable homes...aborting our brothers and sisters.....I could go on and on and on....
It is nice to see a baby boomer admit it.....
why 100 miles?
I see you are here now...You need to know this is a falsehood, WOMEN have been aborting babies long before it was legal....just cause you did not hear of it on MSM did not mean it wasn't happening.
Seniors traditionally are the voters, NOT the younger generations. I'm an Older X'er (born 1965) and fully expect to be screwed over by the feds in the next few years.
This has been going on since the '30's, when our grandparents and great-grandparents voted to take money from our parents.
I think the writer isn't as familiar with the numbers as he pretends. If Bill Gates organized each of the 9 million millionaires in the US to give $1 million to the US treasury, this would more than pay off our $7 trillion growing national debt. Bill Gates said he doesn't think the rich pay enough taxes.
Plus the US just lost $7-8 trillion on 9/11. I don't remember seeing people lining up at the soup kitchens. The economy barely blinked.
That is kinda hard to do when many of these children come from drug-addicted, broken, abusive families (ya know that sexual revolution thing you guys so greatly gave us)....alot of these kids don't know how to be an adult....never had anyone to teach them..
It would also have helped if half of our generation had not been aborted.
True and also NOT True..Women just decided they were not going to be forced to stay in abusive marraiges with men like there mothers HAD TOO! If your husband beat you in the 40's and you went home to your Mother's house, they sent you back to your husband and said:
*Look you have children, stay with your husband he supports you*
I know that....that is NOT my point. My point is that your generation made it fashionable. (NOT you in particular)
First, it's YOUR debt to.
As a conservative, if you make a bill, you pay it. You don't get to run out on a bill.
I do agree with your lack of faith in government and I would say there needs to be a law directing estate taxes (which already exist) toward payment of the national debt, because if we don't do that, the government will have a spending fest. We agree on that point.
