Definitely not by bailing out farmers. Doesn’t sound like Capitalism to me.

The rise of social media brought about the collapse of generations. The skills and knowledge that was never passed on because there was better things to do other than learn and work, brought about the 'disposable society', can't fix anything, toss it and get another.

You’re a late boomer if you’re 67 dude.
I’m not saying you as an individual are to blame. But decades of terrible social and fiscal policies instituted and voted on by people in your generation definitely fricked shite up.
The generation blame game is trite, I agree. But I don’t think boomers have anything to complain about - y’all’s parents gave you the greatest, freest country and economy the western world has ever known and look what was done with it.

I can tell you what you don't do. You don't abandon conservatism in favor of populism, which is what the right has done.
Embracing populism puts the left and the right on the same team. You populists always blab about the "uniparty." Well, populist left and populist right equals the uniparty.

You forgot the part about imposing the tariffs that led to them needing to be bailed out in the first place.

The commies took over education and taught them, so perhaps it was the greatest generation's liberals.

The Constitution was constructed for a moral, decent and Godly people. That was not a problem as far as I knew growing up in church in a middle income, very monocultural southern small town. But as I have aged I can see that a good chunk of this nation is not moral, decent or Godly.
The world has passed the Constitution by. It had a good run, but if the culture and faith of the true Americans is to survive, then we are going to have to tear it down and rebuild something that protects those things.

Well, the Bible reveals that one day all the institutions controlled by men will collapse.

The younger generation are the radicals voting for free shite because the can’t get out of mama’s house.

It's not the politics but rather financial distress that is at play. Too many are focused on societal issues not the impending economic crisis...our country is insolvent...broke...both Parties share the guilt.

That leaves a somewhat larger upper class and a much much larger lower class

I’m about to be 51, and ever since I read the book “Creature from Jeckyll Island” back in 2008 & along side with ever since the country got so low as to elect Barry Hussein Sortoro, raised by communist and American haters & a MUSLIM, I knew we would fall, just a matter of how long it would take.
NEWSFLASH for morons that don’t get it, but the FEDERAL RESERVE was formed to create this money laundering machine and Ponzi scheme that would eventually bankrupt us while they steal the wealth & It’s worked better than they thought.
Frick em’, we need to take it back with brute force, but we are too busy trying to keep our heads above water

This is so true. My wife and I bought a little starter home 14 years ago living on my starting salary of 58K. She was a student at that time. Fourteen years later, no children, our combine income is > 200K and yet we are still living in the starter home (which we will likely stay here) due to the price of homes + terrible interest rates (that would be worth us moving) we simply cannot afford.
We live "comfortably" because we drive average vehicles (We also cannot afford a 100K vehicle) and have saving. And this is with no kids. I don't see how people do it with families.

The only solace is that we will not be alive to see it.
Everything fails and we have allowed government at all levels to become absolutely corrupt ie MN amd fedgov
I'm hoping to play golf and have a relatively healthy next decade or 2 and hopefully our sons and daughters can hang on and fix this

I agree they were the greatest generation it they also gave us social security and Medicare
The ideas are good but implementation sucked
I'm not about blaming any generation because it is not boomers it is congress - their greed and corruption caused this - does not matter the generation it's the position
