Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.
Happily the boomers have solved our problem by overwhelmingly supporting euthenasia for their own parents. Won't payback be a bitch!
Don't worry, the X-ers have the Schiavo case as all the justification they need to solve their financial problems of 2525. "In the year 25, 25, if grandma's still alive, if the cost of care is just to high ..."
Back in my day...
When you are a democrat.
Don't blame me. I vote Republican! /sarc
You and the horse you rode in on. No one is euthanizing the boomers while I'm alive.
Well, somebody put off writing their column until 2am the night before the article was due! ;-)
… the death tax should stay in place and the hundreds of billions collected should be earmarked for their national debt.
"Meanwhile I wouldn't be surprised if generation X starts to believe in euthanasia..."
The boomers killed a lot of their kids, but the Gen Xs were allowed to live. Payback? And how far back?

For about three years now, I have believed that I will not die a natural death. "Duty to die" has been discussed on this forum before.
I'm one of the evil ones. I'm 55.
Here's where the notion that social programs can be sustained by immigration from the third-world falls down. It's one thing to be paying to support your own grandparents -- quite another to support people who are not your kin or kith. Add a little Marxist class struggle, stir in a little racism, simmer in a French broth, and you have the receipe for a social disaster.
Seeing that these very same "boomers" defended and celebrated A Woman's Right to Choose, the chickens are coming home to roost.
Great -- some women have broken the glass ceiling - they are single, sterile or divorced. They refused their own children the right to be born and they have not saved enough to be self-sufficient in their old age.
Now these greedy geezers are going to make sure that those of us who wanted families and had children pay again -- with our tax dollars and our children's to keep them going.
"Kotlikoff and Burns clearly sympathize with younger Americans and Americans not yet born, who will be paying both our bills and their own. 'Does it feel better,' the authors write, 'if those unknown victims of our rapacity are someone else’s children and the children of those children and the children of those children of those children?'”
There are approximately one in three children missing in this selfish boomer generation's fertility rate.
A pox on them and on our pro-abort legislators who say killing one's children is a right. There was never any federal law passed that said it was ok to kill your children.
A majority of our Supreme Court Judges merely said it was constitutional to kill off our posterity -- The antithesis of what our founders believed and stated in our Declaration of Independence.
"A nation that kills its children is a nation without hope." John Paul II
If the left would simply stop aborting themselves, none of this would be a problem. We would then actually have a steady growth in population to help distribute the costs of caring for our older folks.
Rice, fish, and mangos. MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
