I want the next big social justice scandal to involve a guy in a wheelchair.

[giblets]

yup

and you decided to make the next generation pay for your lives

You sound like reg collider

[Sava]

odd since tax cuts that they support and love are the main reason for deficits over the years

[rah]

And some boomer presidents have raised taxes and some boomer presidents have run without deficits so.

[Sava]

and yet here we are

case closed

[rah]

Yes in the continuing journey taken by many generations, not just one.

[Sava]

only there's a paper trail for this one

and if you want to get into the numbers, we can

[rah]

You actually can't due to overlaps. What percentage of congress is currently baby boomers? Over time you will be hard pressed to prove that only one generation was in power at any one time so accessing blame to a generation is just silly.

[Sava]

i agree about the notion of sorting people into certain groups and whatnot

but it is possible to measure collective responsibility

i'm sorry that you happen to be in a demographic that royally ****ed up this country

[rah]

Your opinion.
SS was not started by my generation.
Your generation has done nothing to fix it either.
And the next generation will blame your generation for everything. The cycle will continue. No hard feelings.

[Sava]

when yall die off, we'll be able to get things done again

[rah]

Good luck with that. We'll figure out a way to place our brains in the bodies of the next generation to make sure we keep screwing them for many generations to come.

BTW, I wasn't talking about debt or deficits specifically when I made my original comment.

We can just look at the cost of education and wages, for starters.
