“The Greatest Generation” = the most subsidized generation in American history.
***“The Greatest Generation” = the most subsidized generation in American history.***
That is the distinction of the current generation.
***The Greatest Generation did raise their children well. It was the Marxist professors who got a hold of them after their parents sacrificed.***
I would profoundly and respectfully disagree. If the kids were raised correctly, a bunch of neurotic Marxists would only have amused the kids. The parents neglected to teach them cause and effect. They only taught them to gimme.
the most subsidized generation will be the baby boomers
They’ll all start sitting on their fat bautts at 65 while the rest of us slave away. Many of them avoided war when their turn came up. Now they’ll get national health care when they reire, and their kids won’t pick up the tab. Heck, the rest of us are helping to buy their kids’ houses.
While comedy is as much a part of our day, alas tis tragedy that hovers like a dark shadow in the night..in the day.
I struggled through english literature, shakespeare etc :)
LOL~ he’ll have a ‘fly’ czar in no time...he dress fly.
I don’t think so. Not when you factor in Medicare.
Thought this might interest you from a post I found today on FR

***Well, they wanted the best for their kids. ***
They gave them the material things and left out the most important things.
***They didn’t want them to live as they did during the depression. They didn’t want them to go to war.***
The absence of something is not something, you know.
***They encouraged their children to go to college for the education they missed because of the war. College for the kids was social work school and a way to stay out of Nam.***
What percentage of 60s kids went to college?
***Those kids wanted to rebel as all kids do. The parents were successful. ***
Rebellion takes many forms. These kids further developed the art of the gimme. And their kids growing up now are the most socially backward and inept parents (and grandparents and great grandparents) in this country’s history as they let their offspring procreate like alley cats with the resulting effect of one or no parent children wandering the landscape like cockroaches. How many of these 60s children have had to adopt their grandchildren? And that only because they had a shred of decency taught to them by their parents; they taught their children none.
***They are the retiring Boomers. Some became the SDS and other anti-gov groups. I still don’t blame the parents.***
The government, perhaps? Sunspots? Humans are humans; their evolution did not jump a quantum leap in the 60s. The only difference was society. The 60s generation was failed; their offspring were failed more.
***I don’t think so. Not when you factor in Medicare.***
The current generation has a greater percentage of government assistance in America’s history. How many children grow up entirely paid for by various governments and charities?
Very interesting. I might have seen either this or a related interview some years ago. The Soviets understood the power of positive society control; they worked this country over with rubber hoses, metaphorically speaking. The current crowd in the White House are those who succumbed. Now even Putin is disgusted with our communist government.
Worse yet, Obama appointed his own sister, Maya Soetero, to the same commission in violation of the federal anti-nepotism statute (which was enacted in 1967 as a response to JFK appointing Bobby as Attorney General)
