I think that would be the FDR "New Dealers" who are sucking us dry. The Baby Boomers haven't started (yet), but they'll have their parents "gimme, gimme, gimme" AARP attitude to guide them.

FDR "New Dealers", the LBJ "Great Society", "HillaryCare"; its all the same.

I tend to agree that that is what started it, but that's not the whole picture. I see people on one hand bragging that they sold the house they bought 25 years ago for 300,000, a house they paid only 25,000 for. And then lamenting that their grandkids are struggling to make ends meet and buy a house.

The wheels were set in place for an economy that is based on inflation. Deflation, or stagflation would destroy the economy. And if I was a 25 year old struggling, yeah, I'd be a little steamed when I see Mr. Social Security passing me on the freeway in his 200,000 dollar house-on-wheels.

It's the generation between the WW2 Vets and the Boomers that are currently demanding drug bennies from the rest of us.

I'm a boomer, and rip up anything that comes from AARP. I refuse to rob my son and (eventual, hopefully) grandkids.
