Death to the Baby Boomers!!!

[Fake Boris]

And it would be poetic justice as they would have been the ones responsible commissioning them in the first place.

No.

Most baby-boomers would have voted for governments that agreed to nuclear reduction treaties.

We're on to you, you evil old pieces of ****. It may still take a while to convince a critical mass of our dumber peers of the myriad ways in which you're screwing us, but we're eventually coming after ya'll with pitchforks and torches. Hope you enjoy your retirement on the ice floe.

I might worry about it if and when you develop the brains to be able to spell the contraction for "all of you".

Can we send them to Texas and nuke them there?

I fully support this plan.

Leaving out the Ben part as I don't want him ****ting up this very important thread with whinging about "death threats."

That's "all ya'll".

[SlowwHand]

That's "still" wrong.

I don't think you understand how to use quotation marks.

Today’s youth, both here and abroad, have been screwed by their parents’ fiscal profligacy and economic mismanagement. Neil Howe, a leading generational theorist, cites the “greed, shortsightedness, and blind partisanship” of the boomers, of whom he is one, for having “brought the global economy to its knees.”

How has this generation been screwed? Let’s count the ways, starting with the economy. No generation has suffered more from the Great Recession than the young. Median net worth of people under 35, according to the U.S. Census, fell 37 percent between 2005 and 2010; those over 65 took only a 13 percent hit. ...

The screwed generation also enters adulthood loaded down by a mountain of boomer- and senior-incurred debt—debt that spirals ever more out of control. The public debt constitutes a toxic legacy handed over to offspring who will have to pay it off in at least three ways: through higher taxes, less infrastructure and social spending, and, fatefully, the prospect of painfully slow growth for the foreseeable future. ...

Once known for their optimism, many millennials are turning sour about the future. According to a Rutgers study, 56 percent of recent high-school graduates feel they would not be financially more successful than their parents; only 14 percent thought they’d do better. College education doesn’t seem to make a difference: 58 percent of recent graduates feel they won’t do as well as the previous generation. Only 16 percent thought they’d do better.

This perception builds on the growing notion among economists that the new generation must lower its expectations. ...

Right now, politics is just another place where American millennials are getting screwed. Republicans want to deport young Latinos while cutting investments, such as roads and skills education, that would benefit younger voters. Democrats, meanwhile, seem determined to mortgage the future with high spending on pensions, predominantly for aging boomers; cascading indebtedness; and economic policies unfriendly to the rapid growth necessary to assure upward mobility for the new generation.

Are Millenials the Screwed Generation?

Youth of America, wake up! The Baby Boomers must be stopped!

You don't know how to spell.



Too bad your parents didn't read this publication.

I sincerely doubt you've read it, although you may have looked at the pictures.

I'm going to post this to my Facebook wall from my iPhone ... our parents had it so easy and now we're all so screwed!

/me goes to vote for D or R for GREAT CHANGE

[SlowwHand]

That was Obama's thing. Change. Stupid America, didn't ask for specifics. If change for good or bad. Cry me a river, Drake.

Youth of America, wake up! The Baby Boomers must be stopped!

Fortunately they're too distracted and lazy to do anything about it.

[Wezil]

In another generation their kids will complain about them.

Same as it ever was.

Of course you're screwed Republicans have dominated the government for the past 50 years. With regards to SSI though future generations have been footing the bill for the elder recipients since the class of '32 (those born in 1932) reached retirement age. IIRC those folks aren't generally labelled baby boomers.

What? Congress was Republican for the first time in decades back in '94.

and 100% said they were not going to work as hard as any preceeding generation.
