"My kids are Gen Reagan. The spending I'm paying for comes not from my generation, but the "Greatest Generation" -- my parents. The most affluent and government subsidized generation there is."

Ahem. Your parents worked their arses off. Many gave their lives in wars. When Viet Nam rolled around the boomer generation took to Canada - free love, war protests and advocated the "Great Society" through Johnson.

In no way shape or form is your parents generation the most "government subsidized generation there is." It is YOUR generation that fits THAT description. In your parents time, divorce was not 50%, homoseuxlaity was in the closet, aids was non existent, chemical abuse and pornography was still shocking - THIS is what YOUR generation has promoted. How arrogant of you to blame others for your unquenchable handouts, perverted civil rights and in your face immorality.

Horse pucky. Medicare, Medical, Social Security, Drug Benefit, Proposition 13, and the list goes on. Don't take my word for it. Check the demographics.

In your parents time, divorce was not 50%

I don't know what YOU THINK my parents time was, but the divorce rate starting climbing with the early 60's and that was again..."The Greatest Generation."

The most politically pandered-to segment of our society.

Boomers "advocated the "Great Society" through Johnson"?

_____________________________________________________

Johnson's Great Society, 1965-1966....total number of "boomers" with the right to vote......ZERO. Please explain your ignorance, no, don't bother. Just continue to whine in the dark.
