But if you listen to some of the idiots on FR you’ll be told it’s all the Boomers fault. But guess what, the Boomers were savers, the Gen-X crowd that spawned these Millennials is what Obama is of.

Inter-generational fingerpointing is useless. It is the increasing drag of socialist policies that is killing both the economy and the culture of ingenuity and hard work that created it. The Boomers may have been savers as individuals, but as a generation, they supported the policies that we now have. Even worse, quite frankly, were their parents, who having fought overseas against national socialism in their youth, then supported it at home (without the nationalism). Plenty of Gen X have values that are askew because they grew up taking government-as-nanny for granted, and the millenials are even worse, because they DEMAND government-as-nanny and they're largely a bunch of limp-wristed, uptalking nancy boys (excepted are military, farmers and rednecks, among some others) and vapid social-media-abusing tattooed whores (excepted are...uh...er...Mormon girls?).

Each generation, as a whole, has allowed the rot to continue and sometimes even embraced it, so we are where we are. I personally despise, with an unholy passion, the hippies from the sixties, but the truth is they aren't the only ones responsible for this mess.
