Let’s face it... it is the parents and grandparents of these kids that bankrupted this country, both morally and financially.

WWII gave us the Greatest Generation, it’s aftermath gave us the worst...

Same sixties hippies are F’ing everything up to this day.

I hope there is something left for me to put into my will... right now all I have is “Change”

It may come as news to you that there was half a trillion dollars yanked out of the money markets on September 15, 2008 in a very short time, before the Fed closed the market. That is understood to be economic terrorism, probably from a foreign power.

So stop doing the generational-conflict thing. People worked hard in the past. I was there. The country has been getting more materialistic and immoral as time goes on. That is not the previous generation’s fault. If they had seen it coming, they might have tried to do something.

Socialism was totally ramped up by another Texas President, LBJ, born 1908.

The mammoth social welfare entitlement programs that streamed out of Washington did more damage to the fabric of our society than any number of Vietnams could have done. The irony is, that the segment of our society that it meant to help, was the one that was most grievously harmed.

From your, “Greatest Generation”

“The Congress is charged by the Constitution to “provide . . . for the general welfare of the United States.” Our present abundance is a measure of its success in fulfilling that duty. Now Congress is being asked to extend that welfare to all our people.”

—LBJ War on Poverty Speech, 1964.
