Ding ding; we have the winner of the most rhetorical question of the year.

If what you are saying is right, then perhaps America was a mirage all along...or simply is like every other empire, meteoric rise, equal fall...from lethargy/greed/gluttony....

Yeah, we boomers have our share of blame...WWII gen simply only knew from what previous generations had taught them...there was no means of communication/organization the way there is today, everything was local.

By your comment I assume you are of one of the post-boomer gens.

Since you are willing to place blame on past generations, allow me to ask you something.

The post boomer LEFT have answered the call of their puppet-masters brain-fornicating, loud and proud....

...where is the post-boomer RIGHT?

You can hate on us all you want...when the 'boomer right are all but out of the electorate, kiss the Republican party (conservative anyway) bye bye.

Yes, you've been handed a shit sandwich. Many of us of the 'boomer gen were too handed a shit sandwich, later in our life... with greedy/crooked financier induced recessions, sub-prime/other housing crashes, out/in-sourcing of our livelihoods/pensions...there was some fight (tea party/MAGA) but not nearly enough, too little too late perhaps.

The past is gone, you cannot relive/change it...you have to deal with what is, not what you want/wanted it to be.

You want things to be different...then LEARN from our mistakes, and ACT!

...don't dwell on what's been/not been done.

...I can guarantee you(from experience), that'll get you/yours nowhere.

The enemy is a small but very powerful sect of wealthy blood-thirsty financiers(parasites) who have basically taken over the major institutions that make our country/western world tick.

Find them, remove them like the cancer they are.

Don't wait for the legal system or politicians to do this for you...they've been neutralized/bought-off by 'said malignant tumors.

...there is YOUR "Hope and Change"...to right the wrongs of those of us before you.

WE didn't light the fire...'obviously should have done more by extinguishing the arsonists of OUR time.

That was then...this is now.

Well gosh golly let me see...

Under Trump I got a home loan at 3.12%. Now I’d be lucky to get one an 7.5%.

It used to take $50 to fill up my tank. Now it’s $110.

Groceries have gone up so much that we have had to change how we cook for the family using far cheaper foodstuffs and recipes.

I work with people who have to have TWO full time jobs to pay the bills.

Things were FAR better off under Trump.

That’s why.

That headline is right up there with "It was a dark and stormy night", or maybe "Dear Penthouse"

It’s the worst I have ever seen in my life, bar none.

I am a little older (60), but this has the feel of late Jimmy Carter and the aftermath of Johnson/Nixon spending.

Not the worst I have seen, but if the Fed borrowing doesn't get under control, what we have now may seem like a dead cat bounce.

Bifurcated economy. Those things that directly benefit from deficit government spending like government employees, defense, road building and the like, doing smashingly.

Anything else, not so good.

Unfortunately in the end, all of the anything else will end up bailing out the rest.

Because the ecommunistic bureaucRATs don't consider such irrelevant factors as; food, housing and fuel prices, in their "precise calculations".

You learn in Statistics classes that precision and accuracy are two very different things.

One merely needs to look @ our own History to note such a truth (hell, just REF: The Whiskey Rebellion)

A: 3rd party/sitting it out, wondering where/why those before ‘em allowed it all to go to Hell. *shrug*

But, I’ve ‘dealt’ w/ it since realizing early in life the faux dichotomy isn’t for *poop*. Soon to have the house PIF, no other debts & stocking up on things I believe necessary for what’s coming (& that can be easily passed on w/o the hand of govt knowing)

Least I understand nobody’s VOTING their way back to what was lost. C’est la vie.
