That is because young americans are not being taught. Social security isn't welfare, its a government ran retirement system that was funded by the receivers. They are very ignorant as a lot.

It’s like you folks don’t see how millennial voters vote and how absolutely moronic millennial politicians are.

Yes.. we need much more “squad” politicians. That will fix America.

What's the percentage of millennial politicians in Washington vs boomers over the last 20 years?

The age group with the highest number of voters(2022) was from 45-64. The 2nd highest voting age group is 65+

LINK

There is a significant drop off after that.

It’s not NOW. It’s a preview of what’s coming.

Look at what is already there…. Then imagine the government full of them.

Are you saying the millennials and Gen z… the generations of infinite genders, DEI hiring, defund the police, decriminalizing theft, fully legalized drug use, open borders, free college, free healthcare, universal basic income, safe spaces, anti-energy, child “transitioning”, etc… are going to be the saviors of America?

“Put us in charge and we will stop the boomah welfare!! But first pay our student loans!!..and our healthcare!!… and a modest UBI!!… and reparations!!…”

But they are anti war.. except for Ukraine. And whatever other conflict they are instructed to cheer later on.

Our country has already gone to shite. But continue to blame generations that haven't held any significant federal power.

The rest of this is just mental vomit from you.

This country is beyond fricked RIGHT NOW. Millennials and Gen Z aren't the generations that have created shite policies for the last few decades and they also aren't the largest voting groups.


Yes...I realize that I just repeated my previous post. But you seemed to have conveniently ignored it to continue your muh "millennials and Gen Z's are the problem" rant.

It’s not blaming. It’s forecasting.

We get the preview every time the idiot “squad” dolts march to a microphone.

that’s literally what they are on record wanting. It’s what the current millennials in Congress and throughout the bureaucracy resonate and repeat. Incredible attempt at deflection though.

You think millennial politicians are going to enact welfare reform?? Make able bodied people work is they are going to eat?? Cut entitlements?? Everything they advocate, protest for, yell about, cause destruction for, and vote for shows they are only interested in more anarchy and more entitlements. Everything.

But they will fix the country!! But first.. pay our loans!! Give us UBI!! Pay reparations!! Set up more “gimmie dats”!! Then we can fix this mess!!

This thread was started on Social Security.

What have millennials proposed to do about it?

Then the thread had moved to the financial condition of the US.

What have millennials tried to enact, or are currently for, to fix it? All I’m hearing is “more dat” when it comes to spending.

According to you folks.. all boomers are responsible and the country will be better when “they” die off.

Make a generalization.. get a generalization.

I'll ask again.

Which age group has held the federal power over the last couple of decades?

quote:

It isn't a generalization. The federal government has been held by Boomers for the last few decades. That is a factual statement.

Protip...I just answered the above question. You can complain all you want about what millennials SAY. Or you can come to the very basic understanding that boomers are the one's actually responsible for the state of this country.


ETA: I'll ask you another question. Which age group are the parents responsible for raising millennials and Gen Z's?

This is false. The SS system will become solvent through the simple expedient of raising the retirement age. That's what is inevitable.

It might be true that the SS system gets replaced, but the young folks will eventually get checks from SS or whatever replaces it.

BTW, I am 61, and when I was 18 people were saying that young people would never see a cent...blah blah blah

Nice of you to demand an answer when you continue to deflect.

All we wanna know is what the plan is. What is it?

Are the majority of millennials proposing ending SS? What about entitlements like welfare? We going to see work requirements be strengthened? Get the workforce participation rate to where it should be?

Tell us something besides “the boomahs suck”

What in their advocacy… majority voting habits… protesting… demands… ideals… physical clashes… says they are going to fix anything? What?

I’ve told you what they have told us what they want. But you deflected. Let us know, apparently, what they want that will fix things. Besides melting statues, larping in black fatigues holding umbrellas, protesting Israel, trying to transition their kids for “look at us!!1!!!” Points, and chanting “pay your fair share!!!”

What?

Apparently a pretty good age group because we keep hearing how intelligent, sophisticated, and forward thinking millennials and Gen Z is.

So now you’re going to ask these questions after already laying blanket statements upon an entire generation? What happened to you stating those things as fact? Do you admit that you don’t actually know what the frick you’re talking about?

So now you’re back to “I know what every millennial and gen z thinks”?

Simple question(you like to ignore these):
Are you content with the current state of this country?

Simple follow up question(that I’m sure you’ll ignore):
If not, which age group has been responsible for passing laws and policies in this country for the last few years?

You could actually begin with what I have asked for multiple times. What are the new generations proposing? What do the current reps in government propose? Why is this a difficult task? Or at least one you really do not want to tread upon??

quote:

Nope, never said I was. But we have a millennial voting bloc that delivered us Joe Biden.

The ones old enough to hold office.

Now…. Here it is.. again.. after the other agains… here is the chance to tell us all what are the new generations proposing? What do the current reps in government propose?

Take a deep breath………… now GO!!

Otherwise: Here is some Bachman Turner Overdrive to let you know what the state of the country is in.

The largest voting age groups are 45-65 and then 65+. I’ve already stated this. You clearly ignored it.

List the minimum age requirements for both congress and President. Then, report back with the average age of both.

Don't worry they are killing of many more via side effects of the jab.... Myocarditis, strokes, turbo cancer are going to really bring down the population. Plus no more babies from the vaxxed.


This ^^^^ is certainly one tool the Globalist social engineers could use to ease the draw down of the Social Security trust fund......drop the average lifespan of Americans from 77 years of age down to 72 years of age, that would certainly help the government offset their gross mismanagement of Social Security.

The 1983 SSRA was not a "Boomer" thing. Nor are GenY or GenZ paying for Boomer's SS. Not 1¢!

The Millennial vs Boomer crap is older than dirt in dog years.

But I'll tell you one thing. Gens Y&Z had better learn WTF SS is and what it isn't, or you guys are going to get pantsed.

I didn’t ignore it. I just know that the largest voting bloc and having the majority of a voting bloc vote a certain way is two different things.


Voters 35 and under are farther left than any other. Who is that again?


And again… after the other agains…. After the first again…

What.. is… the…. Millennial and Z plan…. For….. fixing….. the….. country.

I don’t blame you for ignoring it and deflecting. I really don’t.

The idea you have in your head that an entire generation believes exactly the same thing is just mind blowing. There’s no fricking way you think 10’s of millions of people think the exact same way right?

It’s because you’re demanding an answer to an impossible to answer question. At least my question that you kept deflecting/ignoring before I pressed you enough about it is rooted in numbers and facts.
