boomers live above their means then cry they have no money for retirement
want a bail out from the government
real wages, household incomes have been essentially flat through out the boomers' earnings years
many boomer wives were forced to go work in the '80s just to stand still.

Baby Boomers orchestrated the crippling social changes in America
Explain each.
FDR is far from the worst. He and the New Deal are vastly over rated, but he still is far from the worst. We've had three consecutive administrations all worse than FDR.
Normalizing coups and intervention in the interests of big business and colonial empires was terrible. The Dulleses were a ing disaster.
James Buchanan.Worst: Woodrow Wilson. EASILY.
Going to be hard to find a time in our history where a President wasn't busy doing that imperialism thing as every head of state of every world power has done since time began.
he did qualify his response as being specific to economic equality/prosperity
As I said, it was normalized to the point of banality. We overthrew a government for Chiquita bananas for Pete's sake.
Yes, he did. I didn't.
So here we go.
The people who actually read history can at least give reasonable arguments.
Yep, the 1950's were a true victory for low tax rates and trickle-down economics.
Yeah, that's why I stated economic equality. We'll always have the scars that every country that was a world power at some point in their history will have. So hard to find a country that carried the weight of the entire world on it's shoulders so much, while so young, so the scars are fresher and easier for the failed empire's current population, and our own educated, to thumb their noses at the country.
chucho, etd are so ing goddamn stupid
I am not one of those Alts. It used to be harder than a woodpeckers lips to get an account approved. Now it's easier than pulling a greased string through a goose. I'm all for a happy medium.

The economy grew over 35%. Inflation that massacred other countries post-war was kept minimal. Houses were the most affordable they'd ever been and there was no bear market once in the entire decade while unemployment stayed steady. It was called the Prosperity decade for a reason.
Tell me why you think I'm on your intellectual level, you putz.
I would take issue with that as well. Redlining and outright discrimination kept so many minorities from the surest ac ulation of wealth that could be passed on: home ownership. That wasn't fixed until 1968, right about when the postwar government gravy train for most was ending.
The 90's would be what we're looking for then. Peacetime (so far as we can call it), massive economic growth and less poverty/racism.
Probably, except for all those people Hillary murdered.
It was Bill who murdered them. Duh.
Bill raped.
Hillary murdered.
I was not insulting or contradicting Chucho's statement, just adding color commentary.
chucho, etd are so ing goddamn stupid
Your turn then.
chucho, etd are so ing goddamn stupid
boots is so ing god damn stupid.
Wait, what? Like in that same sequence? Billy C raped them then his anti-gay, super racist wife murdered them?
