Let me preface what I’m about to say with some personal experience. I know several baby boomers who, even today in their while in their 60s, smoke pot and act like teenagers. In NYC I ran into boomers all the time who stubbornly refused to grow up, who spent five or six decades of their life doing drugs, mooching off others and railing against the “system” that oppresses them. That generation was responsible for the excesses of American leftism which led to the sub-prime meltdown, unsustainable urbanization (something the so-called greens are still pushing) and moral decay that are at the root of today’s ills and all the while they planned on the same America their parents made being there to support them in their twilight years.
So as you can imagine I’m less than sympathetic to their plight:
BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Seniors prepared to cut back on everything from food to charitable donations to whiskey as word spread Monday that they will have to wait until at least 2012 to see their Social Security checks increase.
The government is expected to announce this week that more than 58 million Social Security recipients will go through a second straight year without an increase in monthly benefits. This year was the first without an increase since automatic adjustments for inflation started in 1975.
“I think it’s disgusting,” said Paul McNeil, 69, a retired state worker from Warwick, R.I., who said his food and utility costs have gone up, but his income has not. He lamented decisions by lawmakers that he said do not favor seniors.
“They’ve got this idea that they’ve got to save money and basically they want to take it out of the people that will give them the least resistance,” he said.
Rhode Island state workers enjoy lavish pension benefits but still this selfish cretin wants to bleed the rest of us dry so he can buy more Viagra and try to pick up women his granddaughter’s age in his convertible mustang. He literally wants the collapsing, bankrupt government to rob Peter to pay Paul McNeil.
And he’s not alone in this disgusting attitude. I suggest that saying 45-50% of all baby boomers are equally selfish and willing to starve us to maintain their lifestyle is conservative. This is the generation that wants to cut CO2 from the atmosphere – when an increase in CO2 would help produce more foods to feed the rest of us. This is the generation that thinks all Americans should be moved into “green” cities to save the environment, but have no idea how we would feed this population. These are the people who support policies that destroyed Detroit, made NYC and L.A. unlivable and created a drug culture so pervasive there’s actually an argument about whether children who are given drugs by their parents are being abused.
Frankly, I’m glad the boomers will reap what they have sown. The rest of us have to suffer because of the decline started by the radical 60s, so the people involved should suffer as well.
Don’t believe me, did you know boomers were showing up at spring breaks? Here’s one dancing in a contest with a bikini payed for by your tax dollars:
Looks like they’re getting by fine without a cost of living increase.
these people are disgusting. I will never understand how an entire generation can rob their own children, mooch off the government, ruin their country, and be proud of it. what a waste of air.
