Would you like to breakdown the finer points of discretionary vs mandatory spending as well?

Sorry you're scared of hard work. If he likes his life I don't know why you feel the need to bash it.

I don't trust your link either as it has an obvious political slant. So instead I went direct to the source, the CBO itself. Here's the real facts....

As you can see, defense is less than 25% ($700 billion) while entitlements make up well over half (over $2 Trillion) of all spending.

Huh?
You posted a link to a website that categorically refutes the pie chart saying that defense spending is over half of the federal budget you fool.
Defense spending is 16% of the total federal budget. Social security is 25% and health and human services makes up 28% of the total budget.

They're kooky and weird, but can you imagine what parents in the 60s and 70s, a relatively sheltered generation, thought about the crazy arse shite that was going on with young people then? Wild arse music, crazy drugs, must have seemed like hell was taking over earth.

Jesus Christ. Defense > FEDERAL DISCRETIONARY spending is 54% of that budget.
Take the whatever else you have to the poli board and start a thread on the intracasies of micro & macro economic spending domestically.

Did you not read what I said? I bought the house and truck at 21, Im 23 now, that was two years ago, baby is on the way now. Debt was incurred before baby was ever thought of.

If your gunna drop bible verses on me atleast do them right. But Il take you on, Mark 9:43 states if your hand causes you to stumble cut it off, most people take this literally as cutting their hand off, but what is really being said is if someone is dragging you down and making you stumble also then its better to cut them out of your life than letting them drag you down also. Or are you shaking your head because I said asshat??
I never posted that as a bragging post, just stating a fact that there is still young people who are not afraid of work and will get their hands dirty to get what they want. I dont have to work 55+ hours a week, I could easily just work 40 and go home and still make ends meet, but thats not who I am, I dont want to just make it by, I want to provide the best life possible for my wife and soon to be born kid.

I fail to understand why you want to ignore mandatory spending. Are you trying to say it doesn't count because we have to do it? That is asinine.

I came to the end of this thread with the intention of posting about Millennials....but it looks like this thread has gone completely off the rails.

Is it just the times we live in? I live in Asheville and Hipster culture is everywhere. This generation thinks they are living on a movie set. Does social media play the biggest role here? I like many things that the younger generation represents but I feel a huge generation gap between the friends I grew up with and the 35 and younger crowd. I'm 47 for reference sake. Maybe it is just middle age bewilderment but these people seem like they are from outer space. I know this board is mainly younger now than when I first started posting but I would like some feedback on this. I'm not from a politically correct generation so frick all of you little pussies who are offended by this. You can kiss my arse. But, past that, give me some feedback. I'm truly interested in this.
Oh look, another baby boomer using anecdotal observations to portray the world around him. We have a winner!

Yes it does. I actually think these "millennials" that are so insufferable are actually a small minority.
They just document every second of their lives on social media, so it looks like they are everywhere.

So, is it 35 and under now? I always get confused because it changes so often and depending on who you talk to.

Yep. It's an ironic self-awareness that has been brewing in the country since the 1960's. I first realized I was doing it as a kid watching SNL. Not only making the joke, but being aware that being in on the joke, made you part of some kind of Cultural hipster movement. Everything began to have a weird disaffected and detached air, as if to care about something in an unironic way, was déclassé". One no longer said America, one began to say "Murica". The original authenticity was replaced by a really stale replacement that reeked of hyper-cool conformity.
Social media took that conformity, and sent it into orbit. Now we have an entire generation that walks around deconstructing their daily lives through the prism of that hyper-ironic cultural filter. They are growing increasingly distant from the true authenticity of their own lives. The day I deleted all my social media (2012), was the day I felt like I fully reengaged with myself.

To those of you under 30, this does not mean I set up a Brazzers account.
