No doubt wage stagnation is real.
Like the stock market gains, middle class is largely isolated from these gains.
No doubt wage stagnation is real.
There is likely some impact to retirement plans but that's very much "easy come easy go".
These economic numbers paint a Rosie picture that just isn't true. Everywhere I look I see people struggling. Obamas 5% unemployment just isn't bill clintons 5%. I guess a lot of people just still aren't even looking?
Shows how ed things are that a 2.3 quarter is "good". Expect annual to be around 1.5. No sign of the "good old days" of 3-4% every year returning any time soon.
With the baby boomer en lement train still rolling to its peak the economy has the giant yoke that is your generation and it's self serving tax policies that took 30 years of elections to fully up. X doesn't seem much better, frankly.
Unless you have been living under a rock, the economic mechanic/reality has been discussed ad nauseum.
"baby boomer en lement train"
Ms of BB's are ed due to having lost their good jobs in the Banksters Great (Jobs) Depression, due to paying $100Ks over their earning years for health INSURANCE (not care), etc, etc, etc.
Your inter-generational conflict doesn't exist. It a smokescreen, distraction created by the VRWC/1%/BigCorp to hide the actual Class Warfare, rich vs everybody else.
there is a macro reality to the retirement of the boomer generation. its been well enumerated. so has the distribution of wealth. stuff like that is well do ented in the historical record and boomer hoarding sticks out. The legislative agenda for the boomer generation has always been reducing taxes and ensuring en lements. One of the more famous electoral rebukes of the modern era is Bush Sr losing his seat for raising their taxes.
I'm not saying that its you personally but what I am talking about is real.

your "reality" applies to the top 1% or 5% of your hated boomers
google this: average savings seniors
and Repugs/VRWC want to raise SS retirement age to 68 or more, but of course there ia nothing, if any, but ty jobs for people above 65.
If you want to be honest then you take the savings of seniors and you compare it to the savings in the US or other age groups. Savings rates have been at historical lows in the country. The whole discussion on wealth subsumes that frankly.
I don't hate. As I said the phenomenon is enumerated. The 1% is 75% boomer. When you compare that to history, it's way out of whack. The voting record and senior en lements is on the demographic itself. So is how said demographic voted from 1985 on after the whole generation reached voting age.
so you agree, finally. It's 1% vs the non-1%, Wealth Class Warfare. NOT the entire boomer generation as you say greedily "hoarding" wealth.
It's not one or the other. You're as bad as the rest of the mouthbreathers around here.
Fuzzy is such a whiney little .
His personal failure just HAS to be baby boomers fault.
Do you think it's lost on people that you are flinging against the wall instead of addressing what I said?
I think your just mad because I make fun of you for ratting out your brother to the authorities and being an en lement .
LOL...
You really wish you could get in a fight with people. The problem is, you are the only one flinging .
He makes up degrading stories about me and I'm the one trying to start ?
He said his brother called the cops on him in reprisal. It is what it is.
He seeks out government handouts and says your stupid if you don't. It is what it is.
Much like you with your flaglot and opinions on minorities.
LOL...
You are so pathetic, counting what you see as faults in other people.
How many of these 14 points apply to you?

Again, I was talking about demographics and CC made a personal attack in the form of story time as he is wont to do. You fixating on me in the face of that makes you look disingenuous and upset.
Want to talk about it?
Meh, what comes around, goes around.
Fuzzy is an impotent whiny little .
Own it, Fuzzy.
thank you for very restating my obvious point. my for tat with fattie started the whole thing, dimwit. you and tweedledee cried foul remember? Now you come back with this?
like I say all the time: you will say anything, sophist.
