Forget about it...he's on a roll:
“Latchkey” children were referred to as far back as the ‘30s, at least. It is Millenials and Gen-Xers who voted for Obama and his spending at higher rates than did the Boomers.
And the Boomers certainly didn’t have anything to do with creating the Ponzi scheme that is Social Security. If anything, they were afraid to rein it in for fear of being called ingenerous to their parents and grandparents, who created the system.
AMEN.
Forget about it...he's on a roll:
Blaming whole generations of people is pointless. There are many people in each generation who are blameless. What we have here is your predictable decline of a civilization. The cycle is very predictable.
Stage 1: The Rise - Strong work ethic and shared beliefs allow a society to become prosperous
Stage 2: The Golden Age - Society achieves its zenith; people still adhere to common beliefs that created greatness
Stage 3: The Decadence - Prolonged prosperity and leisure cause many in society to forget the practices that made them wealthy. Civic virtue is challenged and morals begin to decline.
Stage 4: The Decline - Prosperity fades. Society begins to pine for the better days of the past. The people corrupted know what to do to stop the decline but either can’t or won’t take those corrective actions.
Stage 5: Collapse and transformation into something else.
The previous civilization is dead. Stage 1 of its replacement has started. Stage 1 may take a very long time.
In the cycle above, the process can be halted or delayed at any stage. It rarely is reversed. That only happens when there is a great awakening. Eventually, every civilization succumbs to this cycle.
