Which generation allowed this to prosper? Which generation of “men” where too busy watching football and obsessing over their 401Ks to pay attention to what was going on around them? The generation that couldn’t (wouldn’t?) control their wives or their kids. The generation that put 2 cars in the driveway and 4 bedrooms to sleep in while they handed the kids over to the state. Civic responsibility? Giving half a shit? Not even close.
What generation raised such nihilistic people? The Greatest Generation. I think not.
Stop the B.S.
It was the “Greatest Generation, Eisenhower and Kennedy that started us down the path of Social Dependancy that led to the break up of the family structure AND the full scale pillaging of the Social Security Trust fund for pet political projects.
That in turn led to the huge increase in taxes and fees that forced most Families to work outside the home.
This crap all started with the Politicians of the late 50s early 60s whom the Greatest Generation was a part of and Elected. As a late Boomer (born in 62) I didn’t have a damned thing to do with it.
You must have been comatose when the Greedy old Geezers became a political force and attacking social spending became the 3rd rail of politics...
