Boomers should not be blamed for the failure and abuse of the ill conceived Social Security program.
Mom & Dad (if anyone alive does) deserve the future ire for that looming catastrophe.
My Republican mom is hopefull that Obama’s Public Works Pogram will pull us out of this economic funk “Just like Roosevelt’s did during the Depression”. I remain polite as she is my mom and 40 years my senior while we discuss it a bit. (And she promises me that she didn’t vote for Obama!)
My old man (RIP) on the other hand mentioned a few times that FDR was the worst thing for this nation ever. Now I know why, but as a kid I could never understand my dad’s hatred towards FDR and figured he was just old and didn’t know anything. I wish my dad was around today - but also glad he didn’t have to see Obama get elected.
