Are you a Boomer? Congratulations, You Won the Economy!

[Delldude]

If I present you with my real ID does it indicate citizenship?

Yes

 

[WorldWatcher]

Yes

Really?

Could you provide your state? Then let's look at it's Drivers License/State ID and see if that it indicates citizenship.

(Now I don't expect you to provide your state, you will deflect in some manner because you know the ID does not have a citizenship indicator on it.)

Yep... the Boomers drained all the resources so that... shockingly... they are only funded through their lives. Boomers are leaving a turd on the rest of our doorsteps.

What you mean to say is that you are resentful of those who planned for their retirement, and have enough now to do what they want, while you want everything given to you like a spoiled child....

If you aren't planning, and saving, shame on you.

 

[Delldude]

Really?

Yes. Citizenship proof is required at the time of application. If you possess a Real ID you've provided proof of citizenship.

Quite simple concept.

You are all deadbeat dads living on your kids and your kid's kids benevolence. Borrowing from our future and paying yourself social security you didnt earn.

Someone sounds a bit bitter this morning.

Yes it does. Whether you like it or not.

Yes it does. Whether you like it or not.

Again, what state do you live in?

I’ll show you their REAL ID Drivers License and let you point out the citizenship indicator?

Why dodge?

Can't get one without proving citizenship. If you possess one, you have proven your citizenship.

DUH

Congrats Boomers! You win. You have accumulated more stuff than anyone AND you have set up more government perks than anyone according to a new Wall Street Journal article.

Today’s Boomers have tilted the economy towards themselves and saddled younger generations with their debt and payouts and the cost is swallowing the budget.

As of the third quarter of last year, people 70 and over controlled roughly 39% of all equities and mutual funds owned by households, compared with 22% in 2007, according to Federal Reserve data. Their share of net worth—assets minus debts—was 32%, up from 20% two decades earlier.

This is good news: there has never been a better time in America to be old. Yet it also exposes our disjointed national priorities. We keep pouring resources into making the elderly comfortable and happy when the economy’s pressure points lie elsewhere.

The elderly are mostly out of the job market and thus need not worry about being replaced by artificial intelligence. The majority own their homes, often debt-free. Everyone worries about health costs, but the elderly have publicly funded Medicare. None of this is true for the younger generations.

The cost is swallowing the budget. Federal spending on elderly programs has risen from 6.9% of gross domestic product in 2007 to 9.4% last year and will reach 11.3% in a decade, the Congressional Budget Office projects.

That is where the real threat to intergenerational harmony lies. Elderly programs, plus interest, are the primary driver of the gaping budget deficit. By 2032, Social Security will no longer be able to pay full benefits. Fixing the deficit and Social Security requires some combination of higher taxes or lower future benefits, both of which will largely spare today’s elderly. If you think the young are anxious now, just wait.

Yes and in applying you have to prove your citizenship.

Please try to not use weasle words please.

Apply for what?

REAL ID?
You don't have to be a citizen to receive a REAL ID nor does the REAL ID when presented indicate citizenship.

VOTER REGISTRATION?
REAL ID's that indicate citizenship are accepted, problem is that REAL ID's don't indicate citizenship.
.
.
.
So what state are you in? I'll post your REAL ID requirements and show a sample of the ID and let you point out where the citizenship is indicated on the ID as required by the SAVE Act to be useable for Voter registration.

Miltiary ID's are REAL ID's, yet they cannot be persented as a REAL ID for voter registration.

[MarathonMike]

The law itself.

State Driver Licenses that are REAL ID's don't show citizenship.

Have you applied for a REAL ID? You have to prove your US Citizenship with multiple official documents.

 

[Delldude]

Apply for what?

You prove your citizenship when filing for a Real ID. That in itself proves your citizenship.

I've had one for sometime now.

I love your dancing.

You left a $30T bill for us and an unfunded SS. You are a deadbeat.
