Right now all we have is President Trump fighting this on a daily basis. The rest of the republicans are virtually silent on this subject. They are too afraid to face the liberal firestorm that is the inevitable result.


I don’t think the GOP are afraid. They’re too happy making big bucks and setting up their kids to do the same to care about anything but themselves. We went from the Greatest Generation to the Greediest Generation boomers to now the dumbest generation (Millennials).

Why do you think boomers are the greediest generation? I don’t see that at all.

Boomer here. THe best part of me I attribute to my parents who were the greatest generation. Namely our work ethic, education, goal oriented, team player, resourcefulness, faith. My millinial kids are nothing like that. I blame colleges, phones and social media.

Generalizations are naughty, which is why I look down on sociology majors.
However, it can be argued that the previous generation builds the next one. The "Greatest" generation wanted their children to toil less, and enjoy the fruits of their elders' labors. You shouldn't have to work; we did! was the message.
Then came the message from the Boomers to their offspring: You shouldn't have to think; we did!
So the strugglers begat the lazy and the lazy begat the ignorant.
With any luck -- and a miracle -- the next generation will roll up their sleeves and clean up the mess.
