Are you a WWII vet? Because if you are a Boomer, then your generation is going to go down in history as The Locusts - ate everything, left nothing, and stuck their children and grandchildren (going eight generations deep) with the check.
Unless you were in the Third Army with Patton somewhere, I’d reserve judgment on X. So far, none of our Presidents have rolled up debt equal to literally every other President that preceded him - combined.
In fact, I doubt we get an X’er elected. As for millenials, they are living in what little remains of what the Boomers haven’t consumed yet. By the time they’re gone, there won’t be much left, but debt. There will be plenty of that.
So you’d use the logic fallacy of Tu Quoque to justify your pathetic attempt at being better than me?
Screw you.
Feel better after dropping that load?
What we left you with was a free country. We came home from that bloody war, went to work in the factories, on the farms and in the shops and restaurants. We worked all our lives to bring up children who would reap the benefits that so many of us gave our very lives to secure for them. All we asked was that when we became old, that those later generations would care for us as we had cared for them and had cared for our own parents.
Instead, in our love and zeal that our children never experience A Great Depression, A World War or any of the things we had to endure, we brought up generations of selfish, lazy, perpetually immature brats who value nothing, not even the sanctity of human life. Self is their god and they care for nothing else. Millions of them are still living under the roofs and in the basements of parents and grandparents who have little left that hasn’t been siphoned off by their shiftless, spoiled offspring and grandchildren. The majority of twenty somethings are still living off the parents and grandparents that they call “Locusts”.
We have so insulated them from the harsh realities of life that they think of physical labor as a punishment and any kind of work that may soil their lily white hands as beneath them. Instead, they demand that we furnish them with so called “higher education” where they are taught that right and wrong are relative and that reality is anything they wish it to be. Oh how hard those pipedreams are going to die when all the producers have died off!
Yes, we made a mistake that they will have to pay for and pay dearly! In our love for them, we didn’t demand that they learn the basics of living and that some truths are immutable and can’t be changed. What our parents taught us out of love; my generation withheld out of love from its offspring. What we learned they will have to learn in the same harsh, hellish school of experience. May G-d bless their poor self-centered, clueless little hearts.
