Frankly I don't see any way out of this since the baby boomers (I'm one sad to say) are the people who vote and they fully intend to strip the country before they pass. If my parents generation was "the greatest generation" for enduring the Depression and fighting a world war then certainly the baby boomers are histories most irresponsible generation.

Yeah,

But all the spending in the 60s, 70s, 80s and even the 90s was from the greatest generation. They did well against Nazism, facism and communism, but they embraced Keynesianism...

The baby boomers have destroyed this country, taken it too far into the field of socialism, opened pandora's box with the sexual revolution and have shown themselves to be the most ego-centric & self absorbed generation in history.

I would compare them to the monarchs of old Europe, fancying themselves possessors of a Divine Right to make the world into something that is inoffensive and comfortable to thier delicate self image. They flippantly tell the world what it must do and what it must sacrifice but are unwilling to lead by example. They pursue philosophies that have utterly failed at the cost of millions of lives and immense suffering deluding themselves that they can do it the right way because they have good intentions, as if they were the first one's to try marxism with good intentions.

They have destroyed our moral fabric and ability to reason with the post modernism of moral relativism. They have turned our schools into indoctrination centers formulated to raise a generation of yes men and women unable to learn from failure and unwilling to try from fear of it. They have gelded the men and put women on the front lines to defend them. They have extended childhood to the age of 30 and withhold the idea of personal responsibility from thier children.

They have murdered a whole generation before it could take it's first breath because kids are inconvenient.

They have made patriotism a sin and American History a tale of despair and betrayal instead of progress and freedom.

They have stolen by social security money and have doomed my kids to a life of economic servitude, we will be working until the day we die so that they can retire comfortably. </rant>
