I think that 1960s generation is your generation isn’t it, you are the “silent generation” aren’t you? The Jane Fonda, Bill Ayers, Chicago Seven, Bob Dylan generation.
The people who voted for the 1965 Immigration Act.
“Gen X-ers are lazy is my take.”
In choosing to place their family and children as their first priority? Wow. I had no idea ‘conservative’ boomers hated stay at home moms. Wow. Just wow.
I’m sorry, I got lost at DU, I’ll go back to FR now.
Oh I see...So the entire boomer generation are drugged crazed weirdos...
I’ve had about enough of your bull shit...
See ya!
“Social Security is a “boomer program”, and when a president is of a certain age, he is supposed to end a program that there is every reason will remain permanent in some form.”
You can’t claim that they fixed it at the same time claiming ‘nothing could be done’. Something could have been done, if you had the courage to change it. You did not. You have demanded that your children and grandchildren pay for your excesses instead.
Frankly, I’d be thrilled if the bleeding would stop - the less damage done today - the less bad things will be in the future.
You sound EXACTLY like the kind of guy who would claim such a thing.
Now the world is even depriving you of a wife and children, because you don't have enough 'money',
“I think that 1960s generation is your generation isn’t it, you are the “silent generation” aren’t you? The Jane Fonda, Bill Ayers, Chicago Seven, Bob Dylan generation.

My grandparents? :)
I might be misunderstood but I am not fos.
It was not my intent to say things for boomers are good now. My point was they grew up through good times without seeing really bad times. That is a far different experience than what boomer grandparents or even parents went though.
You are right that the good ole days are gone. Two weeks of vacation time (if you have a job that provides it anymore) is now a time to find two weeks worth of other work to get ahead.
If you could afford to buy a boat or a camper it mostly sits in the yard because you can't afford the holiday away from home.
I understand your point and I agree with you. Hope I made myself more clear than in my first post on this subject.
..the baby boom has no concept of hard times.

How old are you?
“Now the world is even depriving you of a wife and children, because you don’t have enough ‘money’ “
There’s this thing called ‘responsibility’. I believe that as a father that it’s my responsbility to ensure that my wife and children are well cared for. Until I get to the point where I can take care of them, fathering children would be irresponsible.
I can understand why such thinking would be alien to a Boomer. I guess if you pool all your EBTs together you can raise a family quite well.
“agreed, my three adult kids and husbands struggle like we never did.”
Not mine. They both earn 200+K a year. Adjusting for inflation, about what I earned...
Nope, but they *do* seem to resent stay at home moms, Ozzie and Harriet, and all of the 50’s.
You said so yourself. You’re not the only one either!
Wow, I seem to have stepped in it. Wondering how what I meant came out sounding as it did. I’m not oblivious to the hardship right now if that point did not come through.
You live on less than $600.00 dollars a month, why? I don't know, but you are as goofy and bitter a person that I have seen in a while. America prevents you from marrying and having children? Really? Social Security was created by boomers, etc, etc. I think you may be on EBT.
You might want to look into the data on life during the early boomer years, you evidently think that it was like your own, it wasn't.
You think in terms of indoor plumbing, refrigerators, TV, central heating, city water, no hunger, social programs, and so on.
No, that is your generation if you are pre-boomer.
“You live on less than $600.00 dollars a month, why?”
My living expenses are 600/month, because that’s all I require. I have my rent, food and utilities, no debt. Everything I own is paid off.
“America prevents you from marrying and having children?”
That is not what I said. What I said is that my income is insufficient at present to be able to marry and raise a family and be able to care for them. I’m sorry if that makes no sense but that’s the truth. I believe that I shouldn’t marry unless I can provide for a family. Right now I can’t. Boomer policies like Social Security play a big part in my budget - more than I spend on food.
“Social Security was created by boomers”
I never said that either. Social security is ‘boomer approved’, since the Baby Boomers have chosen to keep it and are recipients of it. If Boomers sincerely believed that social security was a priority - things would be much different today. I don’t believe that Boomers view social security reform as a priority. I see no evidence for this.
“I think you may be on EBT.”
Nope, sorry to dissapoint. I earn my money.
Well, as sherlock holmes said - if my grandparents were pre-boomer, what am I?
You’re rather slow on the uptake.
LOL!
So you are a whiney kid? A member of the Obama voting generation?
Wow. Just wow. Get over your drama and do NOT put words in my mouth about hate.
Gen-Xer’s are lazy. Even my SIL the doctor admits he is lazy and that’s why he chose his field. Take your DU name-calling back to your forum.
