DriftBusta Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Repost and just as dumb as the first time it was posted. Given most of the career politicians who’ve foisted much of this shit on the country, are from the generation before the boomers, and given some of the absolutely ridiculous ideas proposed by gen x gen y millenials, etc., pick a group, could there be any concept more absurd? I didnt take a thing from any generation before or after me, nor did I lay any burdens on anyone, so forgive me if I consider all of the finger pointing a load of tripe and if anything, just more evidence of what a bunch of whiners the country in general has turned into.

The boomers demanded increased government services but refused to pay for them. They invented peacetime deficit spending as 'normal'. That is a fact.

It is also a fact that me nor anyone I know has “demanded” anything if the sort. “They” cannot be defined, and that is also a fact. So what was your point again?

Because it’s horse shit, yet I’ve heard you and a few others, conveniently not boomers, try and make a case that can’t be made. Blame politicians fine, don’t blame a generation. I also don’t see any analysis made regarding the contributions each generation has made either. And there was no analysis that proves “boomers” elected any particular fiscally irresponsible politicians either. And finally, it’s the kind of liberal shit that we’ve come to expect from the “Atlantic” Edited June 24, 2019 by DriftBusta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 They fucked everything up and now they will drain social security and medicare for everyone else and then die off. Would be better for everyone if you could all just die now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb. Just couldn’t wait to jump in could you? How’s work going today Jim? Very busy I bet, right out straight I’m sure. What phony narrative have I created and what in sweet fuck does it have to do with this shit article and you nitwits getting all tweaked about it? I’ll say this, running a large financial services branch with several hundred households, as well as managing the families real estate business is a hellava lot more responsibility than you have, I’m pretty certain of that. But you and one or two others will still find a reason to shit on it, because you regularly do. 16 minutes ago, f7ben said: Damn......Francy is fucking crucifying Woolie and MC Sweet 8lb baby jesus make it stop Its horrifying how gruesome it is.

Sorry that hurts your bum. It hurts my brain that you make such a dumb argument. Show the evidence that an entire generation “demanded” these things, then simultaneously “refused” to get pay for them. Lay this at the feet of the politicians because that’s where the blame lies. Broad brushing an entire generation is just plain weak. Edited June 24, 2019 by DriftBusta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchy Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 dumb is not being able to admit the funding shortfall was always there and in plain sight but the generation in power and those voting them in would rather defer the costs instead of increasing taxes on themselves to fund them adequately. And this is just one example lets not forget, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
