Well that article pretty well hit it on the head. The baby boomer generation pretty well has wrecked this country. I am a baby boomer too so I am to blame as well.
Can you imagine your Grand Father or Great Grand father generation standing for the things this country has going on today????
A lot of today's problems can be traced back to Roosevelt's "New Deal" programs. They started the nation looking toward the Government providing/saving them rather than the people doing it themselves.
I am a history nut. It is an economic fact that FDRs "New Deal" actually made the "Great Depression" last longer than it would have if he had not done anything. He got lucky and WWII bailed him out of a great big HOLE!!
Think back to the largest DRAINS that the government has on it today. They all have been the result of hand outs growing out of control. The Social Security is a great big ponzi scheme. The welfare programs and Medicare that where created in the 1960s are now HUGE drains.
Think of how many people you personally know that are drawing SS disability checks??? Many of them are just kids that are not really that sick but will get money their whole life because supposedly have ADD or some other vague issue.
IF you make being poor not have some pain then you will have more people stay poor. My youngest son has friends that are on all the different government programs: Heat assistance, low income housing, Food stamps, etc. Their benefits have a value of around $10,000-15,000 per year. So what happens??? They just get used to living at that economic level. They say they can't work any or too much or they lose all "their" benefits. So they never try. They never will have anything. They have settled for just getting by because it is free and easy.
Yep us baby boomer's have ran a once great ship aground.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
