baby boomer “me” generationers

Hey, be careful who you try to paint with all the tar dripping off your brush!

There are many “boomers” (including me) who have worked hard, saved and invested for our future (I have seen the SS train-wreck coming for a long time), contributed a great deal to this nation’s security and have raised our children to think the same way, i.e., they are only entitled to things they have earned from their own blood, sweat and tears.

Not all birds of a feather flock together.

At 64 years of age I am noticing a pattern. These forty somethings in the administration are out to rob the baby boomers of their wealth. At first I thought they were redistributing to the poor but now I notice that this will be a redistribution to those who are young enough to live through this debacle and invest at these discount prices. Baby boomers….wake up!!!!!

Believe me, I am forty something and I don’t want these idiots to succeed.
I was still ruminating about this post when I read:

Please. The baby boomer “me” generationers have lived their whole lives trying to redistribute their children’s income to themselves (when they weren’t busy running around regulating the hell out of everyone).

They’ve been thinking, acting, and voting like hive-mind collectivists for decades.

The economy right now is merely reaching the final stage of all of that baby boomer collectivism.

Agreed. I am what you call the bottom of the baby boomers. Born 1961. Conservative to the bone. I have always felt out of touch with the so called baby boomers. I feel like a tweener. Never got to enjoy the “baby boomer” crap and too old to fit in with the younger generation. I just know I am pissed about what Captain Big Ears and his merry crew are doing to our Great Country. I talk to people at work and they can’t look past “Bush and the failed 8 years.” Give me a freakin break. I am sick of it. When will these people pull thier head out of thier @$$ and start pulling for the good of Our Country.

Makes me want to go Galt.

Lock and Load

Sorry for the rant, but it’s cathartic.

It’s all overrrr…clap clap…clap clap clap…

Hey!! 69% of people polled don’t think O’Bummer’s economic policies will help the Country. Butttttt…49% of people polled think he is the right guy to help the country. Which means…the people that elected O’Dummer really can’t think deeper than a puddle, and elected him because he looked and sounded good. Which is exactly what the marxists in Congress and the White House counted on.

RIP America.

What’s that old bromide about running an airline? If there’s a coffee stain on the fold-down tray, don’t trust their engine maintenance. Geithner can’t run his own office so I can’t trust him to handle economic policy. He’s an amateur. He’s the wrong guy in a critically important position at absolutely the worst possible time.

And yet Obama/Geithner/Summers/Romer/Orszag have got stuff done. They produced the stimulus package, the budget, and TARP2. You may not like them, but they did get done.

With the obvious reservation that the day is still young, that has to be one of your most vacuous statements. “Got stuff done??” How about we shoot for got something useful/not harmful/substantial/worthwhile done? How about something that doesn’t mortgage our children’s future? How about getting some of his campaign promises done? You know, like the one where he promised to go through bills “line by line” to cut out earmarks?

Would you rather have lazy Bush with his perfectly knotted tie?

In a word: yes. Bush, at his “worst,” only ran up the budget about half a trillion dollars. Obambi is ignorantly magnifying that issue, arrogantly thinking that he has a mandate (with a laughable few points over 50% of the electorate) to do what he pleases, including trampling the Constitution (in ways even liberals could not accuse Bush of doing) and running the economy into a black hole.

And saying “I won” makes it all better, huh?

Did they put windows in your ivory tower?

“You know, it bobs up and down day to day. And if you spend all your time worrying about that, then you’re probably going to get the long-term strategy wrong.”
Is he kidding? He’s got his cash (mainly from writing books about h…
