Most Voters Think America’s Divisions Cannot Be Overcome, Poll Says.

[Marener]

As I said, your life has been enriched by the inventions and developments of the boomers. If you don’t think so, get the h off your iPad and throw it out the window,

$37 trillion in debt and huge unfunded obligations…


…but at least we got iPads.

Jesus Christ, you really have lost perspective.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

A loose confederation of states is the answer at least for now.

Washington will never give up power

 

[Marener]

Get therapy. The hate and resentment you feel toward people you never even met will put you in an early grave.

If someone handed you this kind of mess, you’d be angry about it too.

Of course I’m going to an early grave. You guys also destroyed the food supply and the environment.

All you really care about is yourself.

 

[SweetTea]

We should have done so decades ago when it was clear to everyone this was going to be a problem.

We will do what is necessary, but I want the holier than thou conservative boomers acknowledge the shit show they handed my generation

I am a Generation X’er and I am concerned about the dumpster fire your generation is fomenting with your childish, idealistic, Socialistic idea. See how that works?

Jesus Christ, but you miss the point. Your life has been enriched by all the inventions and developments of the boomer generation,

And as I’ve said repeatedly, 2/3rd of the debt is from Obama forward - when the Left started in with all their wokeness freebies.

There you go again. There are more white people than black people in the US, ergo, it stands to reason that more would be in nursing homes and on Medicaid. Maybe I should start reminding you that white people pay the VAST majority of taxes, but then again, I don’t play racial politics like that.

They also collect the vast majority of the benefits.

Which is why socialism will win. When the Robots take all our jobs, those white people will demand their "entitlements".

Exactly. His generation is brainwashing the youth to hate America and think it’s a good thing to flood the country with illegal aliens, go soft on criminals, elect Communists as mayors, and destroy the country.

The dumpster fire is how the wealth is shifting to the top.

All these people with MAGA hats will be screaming for their government cheese when the next recession hits.

If my generation weren’t handed such a shit show, maybe they’d have been more interested in the greatness of capitalism.

But we’ve been so used to being screwed by the system, you can’t blame them for wanting to change it.

Or are you a “let them eat cake” kind of dude.

And as I’ve said repeatedly, 2/3rd of the debt is from Obama forward - when the Left started in with all their wokeness freebies.

We’ve been on supply side economics for the last 40 years and the deficit has increased from 25% of GDP to over 100% slowly and steadily.

Don’t talk about freebies when you constantly cut your own taxes and don’t give a shit about the resulting debt.

Well why did you vote for Obama? He increased the debt by 50% in four short years!

Trump’s tax cut gave everyone a cut. The lower the income bracket of the taxpayer, the greater the percentage of his cut,

Really. You need therapy. Your irrational anger and lack of appreciation will kill you.

 

[JoeB131]

You mean after he inherited two wars and the biggest recession in 70 years?

The Debt went up because Bush Cut taxes, put a war on a credit card, wrecked the economy, and had to bail out the banking system.

 

[Marener]

Well why did you vote for Obama? He increased the debt by 50% in four short years!

All you do is try to shift the blame.

Obama was handed the biggest financial crisis in generations, brought to us by the kind of unbridled capitalism that you dopes keep trying to tell us is so great.

Our generation’s view of capitalism is highly influenced by what we’ve seen, huge bailouts, corporate greed,

 

[Marener]

Trump’s tax cut gave everyone a cut. The lower the income bracket of the taxpayer, the greater the percentage of his cut,

Really. You need therapy. Your irrational anger and lack of appreciation will kill you.

And why did we need a tax cut in 2017 exactly?

How are you being screwed by the system? I pay more taxes than most people make. I don’t collect SS. My kids go to private school but I pay to fund public education via my proprerty taxes, which are substantial despite living in a red state. I don’t have a team of accountants that can find loopholes for me. I am just curious how you think your generation is getting screwed when my tax money supports many of the programs your generation utilizes.

 

[Care4all]

Longevity plateaued 20 years ago. You needed to pay more to cover that, but you didn’t because your generation didn’t give a shit about fiscal responsibility.

Your generation was all about taking whatever it can from whoever it could, including future generations.

Well, that generation you blame did go from retirement at 65 to full retirement at 67, and that generation went from Social Security taxes at 3% and DOUBLING the SS taxes to 6% to try to save SS and keep it alive for themselves and future generations....

They did make sacrifices and efforts to strengthen it and were willing to do so, with their wallet.

And surpluses were in hundreds of billions a year for a few years. The problems arose when legislators used those surpluses to pay for what federal income taxes should have been paying for in the budget, by borrowing the SS surplus monies meant for the suring up for younger generations when their time came.... Instead they used our SS surplus to give income tax payers, the Bush tax cut....a transfer of SS monies, our wealth, in to primarily the pockets of the very wealthiest of whom SS taxes are capped or don't pay any SS taxes at all....

So the constantly increasing federal budget is blameless, but instead tax cuts are?

 

[Marener]

Constantly increasing budget is driven primarily by entitlements, defense and now interest on the debt. None of which is touchable by anyone because our country is not serious.

Meanwhile you guys keep cutting taxes because you feel like it and the deficits keep climbing.

take a look around you and ask yourself how healthy this country is.

Fiscally? Culturally? Politically?

Nothing is working right. It didn’t happen overnight. It took decades. The core of this country has been hollowed out, turned into profit, and granted to the elites.

Future generations are fighting over the scraps.
