Speaking to all who would blame the Boomers or whoever for their current woes...
What I see here is limitless opportunity.
We elected Presidents and representative who made horrible decisions and squandered future generations' money. Mea culpa, guilty as charged. But you, collectively, can change that, all of it.
You can elect Statesmen - people who put the good of their constituents before their own personal gain or the gain of their largest campaign contributors. You can elect Honest Politicians - people who will not say one thing and do another, people in the legislative branch who will diligently study and debate the finer points of each law before passing it, and if in the executive branch will provide the oversight necessary to make sure the bureaucrats operate for the good of the country, not their private fiefdoms.
You can completely pay off the national debt by foregoing government assistance of any kind except in the most extreme situations for genuinely humane motives. For unearned handouts are more addictive then the worst drug and poison the soul worse than any mortal sin.
You can create a world in which human nature itself is reversed and all people act for the greater good and not their own petty self interests.
In short, you have the opportunity before you to create a Utopia Such As The World Has Never Known. And that is capitalized since, despite the efforts of unknown thousands of years of human existence spanning religions both past and present and governmental systems from the purest democracy to the strictest autocracy, no one ever has.
But hey, don't let that stop you! Good Luck! Check in with us in 40 years and let us know how you did!
