45. oh my gosh I can't believe some of the the responses on this thread. Just when I think we can't

act anymore like republicans we go and start bashing baby boomers. Are baby boomers perfect? Are they without mistakes? No. Of course not. But then again my generation is not without blame, neither is my daughter's generation. We are all to blame, so let's stop the old vs. young crap. We need to not only protect the social programs we have now, but we need to be fighting to restore the funding that these programs had before trickle down economics was inflicted on our country. Let's stop saying things like we need to make cuts in order to insure the viability of these programs down the road and start saying let's restore funding to what it used to be. Instead of cutting it to ensure it's survival, let's put more money in it to ensure it's survival. We need to be doing the same for public pensions, public education, public fire and police, public infrastructure, anything public. We have been letting the rich defund our programs for too long now. It's time to fight to restore the funding.
