I am just fascinated with how so many people seem to miss the mark completely and place blame anywhere and everywhere for our current state of affairs, except where it should be placed. Never a word. Silence. Well, I will tell you why everything is coming unraveled. Open your eyes. Tell me when you are ready for it.
Abortion and Birth Control!!!!
More children being required to work more and drink and get stoned less! More offspring means more people to support the large number of boomers. The big problem was people were just having too few babies as time passes it is snowballing. This has led to almost all of our problems. Illegal immigration, outsourcing of jobs, globalization.
Too much generational blaming. I'm a little bit older than the baby boomers and the main thing that I can see that they did wrong is that many of them coddled their kids too much and gave them too much. Told them they were "special" and babied them.
So a lot of the younger kids tend to be soft and spoiled. Also, 9/11. Those terrorists said they would destroy our country and that's what they're doing. Nothing to do with abortion but if that fits your thinking, ok, lol.

I don't really feel like an argument, but, I think, if you really took a good look at this country and what has happened to it, well, I just don't see how you can come to the conclusion that terrorists are doing more damage to this country than we have done all by ourselves. Don't get me wrong, I am all for smashing the terrorists like cockroaches, but, if we had more able bodied Americans we wouldn't need such massive immigration that allows so many people that basically hate Americans and America into this country. Birth Control has not been good for any country that has used it. Just forget about the religious aspect of it which I am sure, throws a lot of people in a tizzy. Look at China, look at Europe then look at the USA. Our population is just barely replacing itself and in some cases not at all. Do some research on it, it's there for all to see.
Now Islam would just love to destroy our culture and they are trying, and I know the socialist/progressive types will be doing their part to assist.

God Bless Donald J. Trump!
If, by socialist-progressive types, you mean liberals or Democrats, that's kind of a mean thing to say. No American is trying to destroy our culture. Think about it. We are all Americans. We don't want our country destroyed. I don't think that even Trump wants the country destroyed. I don't know where you get this stuff that anyone is trying to destroy our culture. Is it on the radio? In some strange newspaper? On some tv channel that the rest of us don't know about?
People have differing ideas about what is best for the country. People disagree. That's all. No one is trying to destroy the country or the culture.
As for not having enough people to fill all the jobs, that's the opposite of what we keep hearing. We keep hearing that there are too many illegals taking all the jobs. TOO MANY PEOPLE. Thrown the illegals out so that Americans can get those jobs. Yet you think we don't have enough people?
The only place I agree with you is that the RADICAL Muslims want to destroy our culture. They began on 9/11 and they continue. The rest--birth control? abortion? not enough people? have nothing to do with it.
If anything, we have too many people and not enough jobs.
I rarely comment on a post with a link without reading the article first, but I am making an exception this time.
Enough already with one generation blaming another. Every generation has its strengths and weaknesses, its heroes and villains, and its defining moments. This kind of talk has been going on forever, and somehow we're still not tired if it?
Worse than that, those people you (and by "you," I do not mean the OP, or any other single person, I mean the whole nasty business) are bashing, whether you are a Boomer, a Gen-Xer, or a Millennial, are your parents, grandparents, nieces, nephews, children, and grandchildren. How can you be so quick to condemn them?

I'm not a boomer, but in the famous words of Billy Joel,
"We didn't start the fire, it's been always burnin' since the world's been turnin' "
