Okayyyy. This is based on what? GEN-X is one of the most educated generations turned out by this country and one of the most productive. In the 80s, Americans were called lazy by the japanese. Now they say we're obsessed with work, and we have almost the lowest vacation rate of the industrialized world.

It used to be board executives were in their 50s and 60s. Now we're seeing more and more in their 40s and even late 30s.

Hard working? Absolutely. Cynical? Perhaps. But "babies with credit cards"? Hey, at least we weren't a bunch of lazy hippies who never grew up.

See, we have to pay for *our* retirement. (Thanks Dems for not allowing the administration to save Social Security for our children and us.)

They are also the Senior Major, Lt Colonel and Senior NCO combat leaders in Iraq--y'know, the guys who want to stay and fight while the babyboomers in congress sell them out too....

15 years in myself. I'm 38. Pure Gen-X
