Anyone else hate when baby boomers use their age as an argument?

That 'oh shite' moment when you realize that the generations behind you understand that Social Security is a ponzi scheme.

Not again! Argue any point you want, but one thing we can agree on...we didn't need a safe space!


Now be a good little boy/girl and go back inside.

Your hate of us is pretty silly.
Figure it out why.

Wise young person right there.

Yea, it sure looks like the boomers have fricked us in more way than one. But we haven't exactly been topping the exceedingly low standards they set.

Boomers did their part to put us in today's mess and we've certainly done ours. So time to nut up and stop crying about it.

What did y'all call those hippy circles y'all used to beat on bongos in and complain about "the man" back in the day then?

It's also hard for me to take complaints about the boomers over spending seriously from young people who then..........demand MORE spending.

That's like a husband bitching about his wife spending too much.......so, the husband says frick it, and maxes out all the credit cards.

In any case, like I said. When boomers were 25, they weren't "running things". And, when they reached 50, there were plenty of 25 year olds who could've voted to reign shite in.

In fact, if people will remember right, that boomer generation tried, vie electing Bush in 2000, to get the Fed to do something about SS.

And, the left had an aneurysm. It was called a "Risky scheme" and, bluntly speaking, the young vote almost 100% bought that shite.

So, since you bought it, let me remind you that we were told the "Risky scheme" was just too expensive because it would cost $700B.

Fast forward a few years. Anyone want to tell me how much stimulus money was spent during the bailout? Yeah. A fricking lot more than $700B and guess what? SS STILL isn't fixed!

They complain about us but drain the system we are supporting.

When boomers retire this system will collapse.

You people keep hating on the boomers but consider this...

The boomers did not pass. social security
The boomers did not pass welfare
The boomers did not pass Medicaid
The boomers did not pass Medicare

The greatest generation and the Silent Generations are the ones who put our country on the road to financial collapse not the boomers.


Boomers paid in to these systems their entire lives.
Boomers did not even get elected to office until the 1990s
We were already in trouble before they came to power

Worse yet.

While True that Obama was a boomer, He was elected by you Millennials by a 68% margin twice.
You Millennials also overwhelmingly voted for Hillary.

I hate boomers so much, prolly about as much as SJWs
