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.

Born 1955, so I guess that makes me smack dab in the middle of the BBGen. The Greatest generation was the ROOSEVELTIANATED generation. They bought his Socialist policies hook, line and sinker......

"The most affluent and government subsidized generation there is."

You are oh so correct.

One of the many reasons my enthusiasim for the Rush Limbaugh show has diminished over the last couple of years is because his "blind" spot to the havoc the "Greatest Generation" has put this country in with Medicare (1968), Gun Control (1968), EPA (1972), Social Security Trust Fund Money used for general revenue (1977)and of course all of the communist/socialist federal judges that were approved by the mostly democrat Senate from 1952 to 1984 that the "Greatest Generation" voted for.

The "Greatest Generation" did a great job from Dec 1941 to August 1945, but really blew it after 1945.

Here, here. I certainly appreciate what TGG did in WW2, but really, did they do anything that other generations would not have under those circumstances? And have they not been amply rewarded with the GI bill, Social Security, Medicare, and the benefits of almost 30 years of US worldwide economic dominance after WW2?

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.
