Blame FDR and the "New Deal".
You are over-simplifying.
What is needed is not just a generational shift. What is needed is a return to AMERICA.
America first.
I’m a boomer. Damn those young!
Well that's sure interesting, especially since the baby boom didn't start until 1946.
“The boomers are leaving a huge bill. “
Yeah, but it’s worth it to be rid of us isn’t it?
What a wasted generation. We could have led mankind to the stars instead we chose the iron bowl.
What a deal.
The first time conservative Boomers got a chance was the Republican Revolution of 1994. Those ‘conservatives’ went to Washington DC and started acting like elite RINOs.
You can't blame the rest of us for what has happened.
The Greatest Generation set it up and we've been fighting back ever since.
Good grief! Boomers didn't vote in a prescription-drug benefit. Our dolt of a president and Congress did this to us.
This class warfare is no more flattering when well-meaning people on the right stoop to it.
Yes we need to address the issue of government handouts, and returning things to the private sector is the way to go. And studies on longevity reveal that it only takes about 20 years for senior programs to be completely swapped out.
That's what we should focus on.
Under the right replacement program, we could have a significant reduction on the cost of seniors on federal programs in ten years. Let's get on with it.
I, card-carrying member of the Boomer generation, remember clearly the wailing and the gnashing of teeth in the early seventies by the media that there weren't enough jobs to go around to employ all the young Boomers entering the workforce.
There was also a great deal of worrying that there weren't enough shares of stock to provide Boomers with investment opportunities for their old age. Their selfish parents held them all.
These people still think there's a pie and we have to divide it. That we might bake another is beyond their ken.
Blame FDR and the "New Deal".
Substitute progressives instead of boomers and the story will fly. Socialism in the US started with the Wilson progressives and continues to today.
Younger folks, ready to be truly productive in factories, will find a way to dispose of government/services Baby Boomers, rich from government incomes/revenues, who aren’t self-sufficient or productive. And I’m a Baby Boomer. We’re the Useless, Thieving, Lying, Vain Generation. Oh, and did I say mouthy? More of my peers are mouthy, too. Except for my peers who are prior military service (like me, not really Baby Boomers at heart), my Baby Boomer peers also comprise the most cowardly generation.
[I recently quit smoking and started enjoying the extra grouchiness on top of becoming an old man. Deal with it.]
Racial demographics determine the future success of America when boomers withdraw from the workplace more than anything. Education levels, work ethic, crime rates, socialization for individual liberty and constitutional government, etc. will determine the economic and social success generations following boomers.
Boomers have a lot of amorals and socialists running our institutions; but they were beaten back by American conservatives in political power or things would be much worse.
The younger generations don’t have the benefit of that strong group of educated and socialized American-American conservatives. Liberal boomers culturally cleansed the joint while flooding America with foreigners and globalization.
The more Americans that look at themselves as ‘racial victims’ with free stuff coming to them and have no clue about personal responsibility, morality, constitutional government and ideals, the more this country will dive.
These people would be wiser to remove the left from American institutions than whinning about too much success among boomers. You can not rob and cheat one generation to make the next generation of foreigners, losers and resenters wealthy. We can steal all of the boomers’ retirement money and push them out on the streets but that won’t make for wealth and success for the younger generations.
Don’t worry too much, though. Bamster and his pals has them lined up for institutionalized murder in the name of rationed death care.
My father receives $600 a month SS. He wants to know when he'll receive the rest of his $2.2 million.
Is this the generation gap redux to go along with the '60s Marxist meme?
We're all in the same boat, here, and sinking one end of it will only raise the other for a moment before it all slides under.
