I'm seeing a trend here... seeing several of the younger guys here pissed off at Trump, Bibi and the J's and the older generation in support of them since we started with Iran

Is it my imagination?

Will this matter in the mid terms?

Interesting... 🤔

another thing I've noticed is the younger guys with kids here actually seem to give fuck a bit more about the state of things than the older fella's who are comfortable and seem to prioritize themselves first and foremost.

Thats right. Me first. Don’t like it? TFB. Get in line.

how old are you... physically?

I'm 56 with a daughter who'll be starting her junior year in college so I can see both sides of this topic with some clarity, I think. I'm not fearful of anything but I do have grave concerns for the generations behind me.

but by all means... keep caring solely about yourself

Meeee first lmao.

Old fuckers with bad knees and prostate problems mad at the younger crowd that want a better America for their kids. What a goddamn joke. The internet and Trump ruined the 60+ crowd.

I do

I will

I'll continue to do so

decades of reckless spending with no plans to pay for it, knowing the social safety net funds would be exhausted and kicking those cans down the road with zero accountability for future generations... and who is and was the largest voting block who didn't do jack shit about it?

you got it pops... Boomers did that

Trump is going to fix all that, just give him a chance.

It’s goin on now Junior. Largest corporate tax cut in history thanks to the Republican Party….with no way to pay it back. Another billions on an unwanted war and 250 billion spent on Trumps secret police.

Yeah you go with that. Keep supporting a fake Conservative Party. At least the democrats when they sponsor a bill have a way forward to pay it back and it goes right back to tax paying Americans.

You can say it as much as you want and you'd still be wrong. Our parents (of this boomer) had the highest purchasing power in the last 100 years. It went down for the boomers, and it continues to go down. You want to blame a generation for when they were born? Its the dumbest premise I've heard in a while, and there are no shortage of dumb premises in this place. How about laying the blame at the politicians who've sold out our country and the purchasing power we once had. The politicians from generations before mine, my generation and yours, are all guilty. All this boomer did, and millions like me, is go to work, our wives too, pay our taxes and raise our families. I'm 67 and still work. I don't rely on the government for anything, other than to pick up my garbage and plow the streets. They raised our retirement age too, and my generation took nothing from you. Scott Bessent is the first Treasury secretary in my life time who has been sounding the warning bells about the debt and social security, and offered up a plan to fix it. In return, clowns like you come up with shit like you just wrote.

The boomers in Canada are what's keeping the Liberals in power. I don't get it. People a bit older than me are allowing the country to get destroyed and they think their elbow up is somehow fighting a cause. US is a different story.

of course it is but why are you seemingly ignoring the past... let's go with 25 years of Dem's and Rep's burning down the financial house?

War in Afghanistan - unfunded

War in Iraq - unfunded

2008 Global 'financial crisis' - unfunded

2020/2021 Covid stimulus and PPP - unfunded

War in Iran - not only unfunded, unauthorized by Congress

now feel free to explain how "the democrats when they sponsor a bill have a way forward to pay it back and it goes right back to tax paying Americans" with borrowed fucking money and no fucking payment plan?

here's a simple visual if you're struggling to recall nearly three decades of boomers not wanting to 'pay as we went' or holding Democrats and Republicans hands to the fire to actually pay the bills rather than passing that debt along to the generations behind them. but hey, y'all got yours right?

no, I blame a generation for being complicit and complacent in the financial theft of future generations. (see above)

who the fuck has been the largest voting block in the country starting in 1964 through 1982 that not put but kept those politicians who sold out the country in office all these years?

Between 1946 and 1964, the U.S. Baby Boom saw 76 million births. Due to historical immigration, the living Boomer population peaked at 79 million in 1999. Today, there are about 64 to 67 million Baby Boomers living in the U.S., accounting for roughly 19% of the total population

that's a pretty fucking large voting block, isn't it 'young boomer'? why did your generation do such a shitty job keeping them in office, right?

speaking for myself and partially my own generation I couldn't vote until 1988, millenials didn't start voting until 1999 and genZ until 2015... but we're all stuck paying for your generations fuck up's.

took nothing? well, I've been paying for social security and medicare my entire adult life and aren't we told that current generations pay for the oldest ones? so for my generations shared sacrifice we're being told...

The Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) trust fund is projected to be depleted in 2032, at which point incoming payroll taxes will only be able to cover about 78% of scheduled benefits. Without legislative action by Congress, retirees will face automatic benefit cuts of roughly 22%

• The Depletion Timeline: If the OASI and Disability Insurance (DI) funds are theoretically combined, the reserves are projected to be exhausted by 2034.

so did we pay in at full price to get 78% of scheduled benefits, because we sure didn't or haven't gotten a 22% discount on our payments?

how about COLA's for recipients? those have been GREAT for the blood sucking boomers who started collecting at 65 in 2011

Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLAs) have averaged about 2.5% over the last 30 years. While rates were historically low throughout the 2010s—including three years with no increase—surging inflation drove recent increases to 8.7% in 2022 and 2.8% in 2026.

Recent Years (2026 – 2017)

• 2026: 2.8%

• 2025: 2.5%

• 2024: 3.2%

• 2023: 8.7%

• 2022: 5.9%

• 2020: 1.6%

• 2019: 2.8%

• 2018: 2.0%

• 2017: 0.3%

Previous Years (2016 – 2007)

• 2016: 0.0%

• 2015: 1.7%

• 2014: 1.5%

• 2013: 1.7%

• 2012: 3.6%

• 2011: 0.0%

if you think Bessent is someone special you either haven't been paying attention to these issues or you have been willfully ignorant...

this is David Walker, comptroller general who was sounding the alarm bells and was ignored by Democrats and Republicans and Boomers from 2007 I not only challenge you to watch it I encourage you to watch it. he was SPOT f'ng ON and we're staring the issues in the face right now.

Four senior senators express alarm, push for 'hard' Social Security votes

Source: The Hill

06/10/26 4:00 PM ET


Four senior senators, two Democrats and two Republicans, are calling on Congress to tackle the “hard” debate over how to extend the solvency of Social Security after the program’s trustees issued a new report this week projecting it will face a significant shortfall at the end of 2032.

“It’s clear now that Congress shouldn’t delay any longer. Several of us have been coming together to talk about how we can strengthen Social Security for current and future generations of retirees. We say to our colleagues: join us in doing what we were elected to do — legislate on hard issues and protect this lifeline program for our kids and grandkids,” Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Tom Kaine (D-Va.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said in a joint statement.

The senators issued their call to action after Social Security’s trustees warned that the program will become insolvent by the end of 2032 and beneficiaries would see their monthly payments reduced by 22 percent.

The two Republican senators, Cassidy and Tillis, are both leaving the Senate after the current congressional session. Tillis announced his retirement last year after battling with President Trump over the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” while Cassidy lost a primary to two Trump-backed rivals. Durbin, Cassidy, Kaine and Tillis said Congress has good ideas for shoring up the program but needs to find the courage to act.

excuse me but I asked you and busta to show me wtf the boomers did to get the D's/R's to get our fiscal house in order over the past three decades... not some DC political smokeshow this week figuring out how to get GenX, Millenials and GenZ to compensate for your generations shortcomings

but hey... nothing like calling the Fire Department now so they can try to save the foundation right?!!!!?

also, you and busta don't seem to realize I'm not singling you out personally but if that's the path you two want to travel down... Boomers do ME-ME-ME the best so let's go there if need be
