The Screwed Generation Turns Socialist

[Uncensored2008]

This is a very interesting – and alarming – essay about the various generations and their political outlooks. The alarming part is the tendency of the millennials to turn to socialism as their preferred form of governance. I personally do not understand why they cannot see the results of this in other governments and the failures of that form of governing.

Yet over time, the millennials—arguably the most progressive generation since the ’30s—could drive our politics not only leftward, but towards an increasingly socialist reality, overturning many of the very things that long have defined American life. This could presage a war of generations over everything from social mores to economics and could well define our politics for the next decade.

I know it's difficult for Leftists like you to understand, but pensions are EARNED by the years one serves.

He must be a troll, illustrating how stupid leftists are. No one could be legitimately that stupid. It isn't possible.

Costs of Military Pay and Benefits in the Defense Budget

For fiscal year 2013, the Department of Defense (DoD) requested about $150 billion to fund the pay and benefits of current and retired members of the military. That amount is more than one-quarter of DoD’s total base budget request.

Military Compensation Includes Cash Compensation and Substantial Retirement and Health Benefits
Of DoD’s $150 billion request for compensation in 2013, more than $90 billion would go to basic pay, food and housing allowances, bonuses, and various types of special pay. Another $16 billion would go to accrual payments that account for the future pensions of current service members who will retire from the military (generally after at least 20 years of service). In 2012, DoD paid 34 cents for each dollar of basic pay for active personnel and 24 cents for each dollar of basic pay for reserve personnel.

A huge amount of the federal (and state and local budgets are such costs.
