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

[citygator]

Boomers paid their dues. They built and handed your sorry ass the wealthiest, most advanced, most powerful nation on the planet…A debt free nation, a united, productive, clean, safe, moral, Christian, all white nation free of that destructive diversity and multiculturalism you wackos have fucked it all up with. You owe Boomers your left nut you ungrateful puke.

Bullshit… Boomers are 20% of the population and 60% of Senate today. They are half of congress. $26T of the $31T in debt happened under your Boomer presidents and while Boomers were the majority of both houses.

You left us broke with a giant sucking sound of Social Security and Medicare eating up our budget for your Boomer only perks. You will be remembered as a failed generation with your excesses paid for by Generation X and Millennials. Each generation is getting better since your massive setback.

Deport Boomers keep the hard working Immigrants!

My dad, a hard working great guy, is bleeding us dry. He was an 05 or O6 in the military for 30 years and gets a fat check monthly, gets free healthcare for life, and utilizes military benefits still. He’s one of you though…. Leaving $30T behind for us to pay for how he lived. Just like y’all.

Whose fault is that? Korea started grumbling and Viet Nam took it to the end zone on wars with a draft. We became the world power and policeman after WW 2. We went into agreements with other nations to protect each other and of course the founding fathers warned us about this. You Progs are calling Trump an isolationist which is crazy and a racist nationalist which is worse. You love NATO. You hate the honkie. and for some reason Ukraine means something in the real view of exterminating all honkies. The Soviet Union was in WW 2 for around 4 years. This war is around the same time now.

Boomers’ Legacy:

7. Only Generation to leave kids worse off than them.

We became a world power while you were in grade school. You came to political power in the 90’s when all the hard work was done and fucked up what the Greatest Generation built. You lost wars. Ran up debt fighting shadow wars with no victories or spoils. You lost all the good jobs and you let healthcare go unaddressed except for the ACA. You are the only people to leave your kids worse off. My generation wont do that. Right President Newsom?

We became the power of the world by the end of the 19th century. We were economically top dog. We did not however want totally interfere with other nations. Even with the Spanish American War. Which may have been a testing of power. England was dying. We did not take the military mantle from them although we took the economic one. The transition of power moving from one nation to another is not simple. We were two English speaking nations, and we had two world wars to complete the power transfer. China is not the same as the new power and us as former one.

Ha, good one. You’d have to search pretty hard to find a Boomer who could do that. The youngest one of you is mid 60’s? Maybe Arnold still has it at 78, he still looks scary, but the list is short.

My wife and I are Boomers. Each of us has been retired over the past 9 years and fortunately our combined Social Security and pensions provide us more than enough to live on. The paid medical coverage we got from the company I retired from also helps.

I feel no blame for winning. I've always been a fiscal conservative. I didn't favor Voodoo economics, the cost of the wars to make the Islams great again, the government stimulus checks, nor all the various tax cuts. We're also generous with our gifts and charitable donations. Plus, over the last 5 years of this retirement life, in which we haven't earned as much as a dime in wages, our income taxes have average over $24,000 annually.

Boomers love wealth distribution.

In this case, it’s distributing wealth to themselves from future generations even though boomers have accumulated more wealth than any ever has before.

boomer failure will be remembered more for its maladjusted ingrate spawn than anything else.

I agree we became A power by the end of the 19th century. We became THE world power by the late 80s’. Work was done. Boomers coasted on it. I am not sure what they did to improve anything other than letting Al Gore invent the internet… but that sure has been a double edged sword.

We were the defacto World Power by the end of WW 2. Globalists cause this from around 1913 to 1945. Germany were the suckers.

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.

We grew up with a work ethic. No hand-me-downs.

Imaging dumping tens of trillions of dollars of debt on someone and then demanding they be grateful.

Boomers are so ******* delusional.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

How sad that people run around blaming imaginary bogeyman for their own shortcomings.

I wouldn't paint with such a broad brush as the child responsible for the o.p., but the refusal to take any responsibility for one's life is certainly more prevalent in his generation than my own.

I kept in contact with my former boss after retirement. From what was related, the millennials he now was responsible to supervise left a lot to be desired in regard to their work effort. I get the picture.
