Damn, can not imagine blaming a generation for problems this country currently has.
Really? Cause everyone sure seems to want to blame Millenials for everything. Despite the fact that we've had zero power whatsoever for the last thirty years. Face reality. The Boomers have been instrumental in electing every single solitary politician for the last four decades running. They have been the driving force in U.S. Policy since their mid 20's.
I never agreed with that mentality and I would probably rate that attitude as PREJUDICE!!!
Prejudice would be if you judged each individual Baby Boomers based on the fact that they were Baby Boomers alone. Clearly the Clintons, Warren, Bernie, Biden and others fall in to that category. Yet they are very good people who have tried the best they can to prevent the mess we are in. But it is an objective fact that The Republicans Presidents who are almost exclusively responsible for the current national debt we have were largely elected by the Baby Boomer generation even if it was only 60% that voted for them.
Do you really thing Boomers really wanted to go to Vietnam???
We're not discussing Vietnam. We're discussing the current National Debt.
I remember the Boomers screaming not to go. Do you think Boomers wanted to go to Afghanistan? Do you think the Boomers were responsible for creating the military complex? How about the healthcare complex, The energy complex, the industrial complex? NO they were not.
Well actually, yeah they were largely to blame for all of those things. They are problems almost exclusively caused by Republican Presidents over the last four decades and it was Baby Boomers who are almost entirely responsible for their election. I mean you could break it down further and say White Rural Christian Baby Boomers, but yeah still baby boomers who are mostly to blame.
Do you think the millennials would look back into history and see exactly how the Boomer generation was screwed by our government?
The Boomer Generation is the wealthiest generation in all of Human History. Their parents payed for the interstate highway system that made them filthy rich. They were able to get upper middle class jobs without any higher education. They bought houses sooner and they started out life debt free.
They payed lower tax rates than any generation since the New Deal, but were still able to afford all the investments they wanted to make because they racked up $23 Trillion dollars in debt which they are now expecting their children to pay off with interest.
The rich lobby government to talk the american people into deciding what is best for them ( the rich) not the average american person.
1.) As stated the Baby Boomer generation is the wealthiest generation in human history. They were largely to blame for the con job in the first place.
2.) Those average Americans who fell for the lies spread by Rich Republicans were almost exclusively baby boomers.
Either way, Still baby boomers fault.
With you UHC system. who do you think is going to pay for that
We will. We will have taxes deducted from our paychecks for the rest of our adult lives. Baby boomers at this point are largely retiring. They will pay little or no future tax and they will receive medicare paid for by us whether UHC passes or not.
the citizen or the corporation?
Both, but if done properly it will largely be the corporations. That is how Warren has structured her plan.
It is a game young man and once you realize who the dealers are, you will understand that No government is for the people (at least common people).
No, that's just the problem. Rather than fix the government the Baby Boomer generation trashed the government. Convinced it was their enemy by those same Rich people you were just talking about. In countries where people use the government properly, Canada, Normay, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, New Zealand... They have the highest quality of life in the world. Much higher than the United States.
