“So, its just the boomers who are for Romney? If that is your world, you need to get out more. Who is going to listen to someone standing on the sidelines complaining about all the spending going on?”
Look, I’ll make this as simple as possible.
Clinton 2x, Bush 2x, Obama 1x, and now Obama or Romney. You’ve had 20 years to curtail spending, and now we’re supposed to believe that boomers are going to curtail spending now?
I don’t see it. Maybe if we vote another one in, you’ll do it this time, like you didn’t the last 5 times.
You’ve had your chance, and frankly, have taken America from a position of strength to being far weaker than she was in 1992.
The employment numbers are so horrible, not only have you taken us back to 1992, you’ve actually managed to eat away at the gains that the generation ahead of you brought forth.
We’re back to 1981 now, when the Boomers themselves were 35-20. In another couple months, we’ll likely get back to 1978 or so, and in another year, it could be 1955 at the peak of the boom.
Is it possible for one generation to not only spend everything they produced, but also to spend everything that others built up for them? We shall see.
Actually, I really feel your pain. As I noted before, I shoulder most of the responsibility for how spending got out of control. I’ve been pissed off about it since the 80s when Reagan let the Democratic-controlled Congress spend their asses off just so he could do the things he wanted to do. It is not as though we wanted all of this to happen. We didn’t. But why would you want to make the same mistake we did by thinking that we had no control over our government? It is not the boomer workers you should be scolding, but the politicians.
Glad to hear you came to Texas, though! Please consider getting some contract work in the oilfield industry. They are desperate for good, knowledgeable workers and the pay is great. The oil boom won’t last but a few years, but that may be what can tide you over.
