You got that part right.Apparently we are just a bunch of spoiled brats.
History books?....link?History books have already been written about how the boomers have ruined this country through greed and selfishness
good post until the last line. Sad truth is is that 66% of those under 30 voted for Obama...the guy running the trillion dollar deficits, compared to only 50% of those over 30.pmoney25;1213536 wrote:We are trying to work on solutions. We are trying to get real conservatives elected. We are trying to get people elected who believe in liberty, believe in fiscal conservatism and believe in following the constitution. I believe in the next 4-8 you will start to see an influx of Libertarian leaning politicians in this country at all levels. People who actually believe in freedom and believe in small government. But for now we have to put up with the " Elect Romney because he is not Obama, not because he is actually any good." Great example set by the older generation for sure.

You are the one who prides yourself on your 'logic' and reason....explain your gross generalization that links all boomers to the problems facing our country today.

Sad truth is that we all are to blame, and the sooner you realize your generation's own culpability, the sooner solutions can come.
Obama isn't to blame for the deficit. Although he has spent quite a bit of money we don't have to exacerbate the problem and has offered zero solutions to fix the problem either.Sage;1213603 wrote:lol it really is baffling to watch ppl pin the ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE DEFICIT on president obama. wow this is amazing. and yes, baby boomers are fucking terrible. this is known.

Then the Whiner Generation shouldn't bitch about how terrible your lives have been.sleeper;1213579 wrote:Yeah most of my generation hasn't even voted yet.
Who is blaming the "entire history of the deficit" on obama? What he is to be blamed for is the FACT that he is the MOST PROLIFIC DEBT CREATOR IN WORLD HISTORY ..... heaping SIX TRILLION ($6,000,000,000,000) of NEW DEBT onto the American public in just 3 1/2 years ----- simply astounding.Sage;1213603 wrote:lol it really is baffling to watch ppl pin the ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE DEFICIT on president obama. wow this is amazing. and yes, baby boomers are ****ing terrible. this is known.
Maybe our parents and grandparents should have had some fucking fiscal responsibility instead of passing the buck onto their kids and grandchildren. Whiner Generation my ass, the "greatest" generation is nothing of the sort. More like the greatest spending generation. Thanks for nothing.believer;1213667 wrote:Then the Whiner Generation shouldn't bitch about how terrible your lives have been.

If you think "our" generation is better right now you are retarded. The younger generation is who got Obama elected, of all age groups the highest percentage of vote that went for Obama was under 30. Think about that for a minute.sleeper;1213579 wrote:Yeah most of my generation hasn't even voted yet.Boomer's have seen the problem their entire life and keep kicking the can down the road.
The legacy of the boomers is the worst generation in world history. If you can sleep at night with that label, then good for you.
Nope, just about $4.5 trillion out of the roughly $16. However, $4.5 trillion in less than 4 years is an alarming RATE of debt accumulation, it makes the gross amount of debt accumulated under Bush's 2nd term (of which Obama himself called unpatriotic) pale in comparison.Sage;1213603 wrote:lol it really is baffling to watch ppl pin the ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE DEFICIT on president obama. wow this is amazing. and yes, baby boomers are ****ing terrible. this is known.
I don't think our generation is better. I think our generation doesn't have a choice and will have to deal with the consequences left by the worst generation in history. It's completely an unethical disaster for someone to push Armageddon like debt onto a generation that is barely born yet and has voted for one disaster of a President. Look at Ron Paul's base, its mostly young people. What?! Young people wanting to curb the fiscal insanity of the nation? The horror.jmog;1214904 wrote:If you think "our" generation is better right now you are retarded.

Unless your parents and grandparents were members of Congress, or POTUS, maybe your brush should be a little less broad.tk421;1213955 wrote:Maybe our parents and grandparents should have had some fucking fiscal responsibility instead of passing the buck onto their kids and grandchildren.

Let me put this in another way. You are given 2 groups, A and B. X will stand for average years voting. Q will stand for level of ignorance.jmog;1215146 wrote:Sleeper, I will say it again. Our generation must be even worse than the boomers because the young voters had the highest amount of Obama voters among all age groups in 2008
