Ten Flash Points In The Fiscal Commission Chairmen's Proposal

Thursday, November 11, 2010


I certainly don't think it's fair that, at my age, I'm going to have to experience years - if not decades - of slower growth to essentially pay for the sins of the Baby Boomers.
==========­==========­==========­==========­==========

"Fairness" has nothing to do with this, for a few reasons, the least of which is that Baby Boomers aren't responsible for this.  To believe that they are is to have swallowed the bait so that the real perpetrators can get away with the greatest heist in the history of the world.  

The "let's pass it off to our children" line was a creation of the Frank Luntzes in our political system, one of many in a campaign to ram through methods for very rich and powerful to get their hands on the instruments of power and the resources of the United States to further rob the poor and middle class all over the world.

It was line in a campaign like Bush's campaign to attack Iraq:  If trying to scare the American people into a war in Iraq by saying that, "Saddam Hussein has WMD, is capable of landing a missile with WMD on the continental US" wasn't enough (and which also wasn't true) to get the Authorization to Use Military Force against Iraq, then other reasons are invented, en masse, and the public is b0mbarded with them so that all rational thought and discussion is impossible.  Any reason is invented to get Americans pressuring Congress to do it.  Any reason will do, whether true or not, just as long as it gets Congress to do it.

Baby Boomers had no power in these decisions, and are as much victims (worse victims) in this as you seem to think your generation is. 

This was a heist -- It's an ongoing heist, and you're buying into the distraction that Baby Boomers did it.
