I am a babyboomer. Call me a whiner if you wish. My life is good. I live at a standard my parents and grandparents never dreamed possible. But the status quo is unacceptable. The nation has been invaded by millions and millions of illegal invaders. The boy in the White House says his administration has a strong dollar policy, but the facts are the dollar is dreadful. It has contributed mightily to the soaring price of oil. It has allowed American companies like Budweiser to be priced so cheaply in dollars, Europeans are paying premiums American companies could never afford. The country has been sold out by both parties and the country has not only been invaded but it is up for sale. Whatever success I have had in my life has a lot to do with the very very sound education that I got in public school, an education that could not be had today in our public school system which is a rotten mess. I resent what Phil Gramm said because he is no conservative, he is an elitist. If Ronald Reagan were alive today, he would be telling it like is, and it would not be whining because Reagan was not only a conservative but a populist. How much of a populist was he, well let me tell you, he had so many people in the other party supporting him that they had a name for them, Reagan Democrats. Today, the elitists in the Democrat Party like Teddy Kennedy, have taken Republicans like Jorge and Juan and formed the elitist Teddy Kennedy Wing of Republican Party. Call me a whiner, for pointing out what the status quo is, and how unacceptable it is to this conservative.
My wife and I are in the same boat with you ( 61 & 60 ). It is a reflection on how you were raised by your parents .
