Imagine being an old boomer or boomer lite and arguing like a grade schooler.

Boomer arguments in this thread
-"nuh uh"
-"hurr hurr safe space"
-"the sky is purple, not blue retard"
-"participation trophies" (an odd insult since it was boomer parents giving out the trophies)
-"it was millennials fault we bailed ourselves out with trillions of printed money"

Goodness. What a lack of self-awareness.

Feel free to engage facts concerning your emotional TARP tantrum any time you'd like. Scottydoesntknow, but NC is willing to help Scotty get over that.

I mean “it’s ALL the boomers.” Let’s get the ideas of ALL millennials. So.. don’t stop. Keep going.

Of course its not all boomers...there were a select few good ones. My dad taught me as a kid the concept of money and the dangers of unsound money. He opposed TARP and QE even though it conflicted completely with his retirement interests. He taught me that real economies had to have periods of both booms and busts. He took risks and started businesses.

He still works, takes care of himself and shares his knowledge, wisdom and even still helps me build houses when I can use an extra hand. Hed agree with everything Tucker said in the interview and what ive said in this thread. I actually think he may be the anti-boomer

Scott Bessent, Tom Homan, Rand Paul, Rick Scott, etc

But you're right. There aren't many. Trump cut his own path.

Surprise this thread is still alive.

Why are you running back to “boomers” when I simply asked for what ALL millennials have in store for America. This thread is 20 plus pages attacking all boomers… let’s get all those millennial ideas out there. Convince us.

I mean… is there a problem?

You may start with the most famous millennial from NY still in congress and some of her groundbreaking ideas to undo what “tha boomahs” have done. What about the insights of Jasmine Crockett? Illhan Omar? Greg Caesar? Summer Lee? Delia Ramirez? Jon Ossof? Yassamin Ansari? Eric Swallwell?

What are they proposing to fix America? Remember ALL boomers.. so now it’s ALL millennials.


Annnnnnd go!

Grok what years of US politics have been most dominated by boomer generation?

quote:

---

The Baby Boomer generation, born between 1946 and 1964, has exerted significant influence over U.S. politics for decades, primarily through their sheer numbers as voters, elected officials, and holders of key positions like the presidency, Congress, and governorships. Their dominance began emerging in the late 1970s as most Boomers reached voting age and started entering public office, but it solidified in the 1990s and persisted strongly through the 2010s and early 2020s. ? ? ? The period of peak Boomer dominance—when they held the presidency and majorities or pluralities in Congress—spanned roughly from 1993 to 2021, with the height of their influence in the 2000s and 2010s. ? ? ? ? By the mid-2020s, their grip has begun to loosen as Generation X (born 1965-1980) gains ground, particularly in the House. ? ? ?

Grok, give me a concise list of key legislation with dates that contributed to the sub-prime mortgage crisis and other factors that led to the need for TARP

quote:

---

Key Legislation Contributing to the Subprime Mortgage Crisis
• Community Reinvestment Act (1977): Encouraged banks to lend in low-income areas; critics argue it pressured risky subprime loans, though studies find limited impact. ? ? ? ?
• Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act (1982): Deregulated savings and loans, allowing adjustable-rate mortgages and higher-risk lending, setting precedents for subprime products. ? ?
• Alternative Mortgage Transaction Parity Act (1982): Permitted non-bank lenders to offer exotic mortgages like interest-only or no-down-payment loans, linked to predatory subprime lending. ?
• Housing and Community Development Act (1992): Set affordable housing goals for GSEs like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, requiring them to support low-income lending; some blame it for fueling subprime purchases, while others see minimal role. ? ? ? ?
• Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (1999): Repealed parts of Glass-Steagall, allowing banks to merge with investment firms and engage in riskier activities like mortgage securitization. ? ? ? ?
• Commodity Futures Modernization Act (2000): Deregulated derivatives like credit default swaps, amplifying risks from subprime securities. ? ? ?

Grok, was TARP a bailout?

---

Well at least you're trying.

TARP ended up costing around $30B

The U.S. was losing nearly 800,000 jobs per month in late 2008, with household wealth down 17% (five times the 1929 decline). Without TARP, unchecked bank failures would have amplified this a la the Great Depression. We lost 8 million jobs during the Great Recession which were terrible.

Without TARP though, estimates are that "8 million jobs" number would have tripled (which would have decimated millennials). It would have undercut GDP by an additional 10-20%, translating to $1.5-$3 trillion in lost output in 2008-2009 alone (based on 2008 GDP of ~$14.7 trillion).

Without TARP, the fiscal cost would have included an estimated 40% increase in federal debt (roughly doubling the debt held by the private sector) with subsequent costs of $5-$6 TRILLION over time, dwarfing TARP’s $30 billion net cost.
