As a babyboomer set to retire in a decade, I feel my generation more than any is responsable more than anyone for all the ills and future ills to come.
For 30 yrs including Reagan and Clinton, I’ve listened to supposed Democratic future cuts that not only never happen but spending always increases.
I’d like to go over the cliff, then start talks after the holidays when the debt limit talks come up to have 10% cuts annually for 5 yrs IN WRITING getting down spending to 2.3trillion in 5 yrs then spending is frozen until the debt is paid.
It may take 20 yrs of pain but we’ve lived way beyond our means for too long.
I’m a young boomer, I don’t feel responsible in the least.
