Amen! I don’t really see how the in-fighting helps anyone-the “greatest” gen’ers have lapped up FDR’s crap for years without even thinking about the fact that ponzi schemes are not sustainable, and now we’ve got millions of riders of the purple wage with their snouts in that trough, as well, through ambulance chasers soliciticing largely bogus claims.
They also enabled LBJ to create the welfare state, while we boomers were way too young to vote. I agree with those who believe we need to de-fund and eliminate most government agencies and programs-it is the only way to get long term stability for all of us. I’m perfectly happy to keep working forever-but I want to see others doing it too. And for that to happen, we need a healthy economy.
Now that the yellow brick road is crumbling, too many of us in all generations want daddy government to “fix” it with anyone’s money but theirs. The cold, hard fact that no one wants to see is that their precious government has spent ALL of our money, and there is no one left with enough to sustain the goodies...
The really dark side to all of these stories about one generation (Whatever that is exactly! Why do we let ourselves be defined by being lumped into groups?) is that they are preparing us for euthanasia. If you can convince the younger generations that their parents are useless old coots who screwed them out of their future, how much easier it is to convince them to pull the plug on the oldsters in order to save money.
Keep preaching the truth FRiend and may God Bless you!
