Just Politics

Sad but true. His little gambit only lasts until the next election, though, and if it wasn't Manchin it would be our cutesy senator from Arizona who thinks she is just all that.

So this is what the Boomers choose to leave us? "Here ya go kids, grandkids. The best we can be bothered to do for you is to leave you a dysfunctional political system, vast amounts of government & personal debt, a crumbling infrastructure, a bloated military, a diminished world standing, and just to show you what truly selfish s**tstains we are - Donald Trump, because...why leave you functioning democracy or social progress?"

"And hey, sorry about all those closed mental health facilities in the 80's & 90's...because, why spend money on that boring stuff when we could spend it on ourselves? Sorry about all those released mentally ill X'ers (our children, I guess) who became homeless, then criminals, then part of the lifelong prison population. It sucks, I guess. Thank God for shopping!

"And that student loan thing. Ya, our parents kept college REALLY affordable for us, thank God! We could pretty much just walk out of college, get a job, and get a house. Now some people have a house worth of college debt" (this writer has $250k) "because even though our parents paid for our college & kept college affordable for us, we just couldn't pull that together. Oh well. You understand."

"But no matter how bad we Boomers left it for the rest of you, you little s**tstains better keep us living in the lap of luxury with the best possible care no matter what the cost to the planet or your children or yourselves. We are entitled to it."
