good luck finding a candidate that cares about the middle class or anyone under the age of 40.

social security will be bankrupt by 2041, so those under 40 give money away each paycheck, never to see it again.  NEITHER PARTY CARES NOR ADDRESSES IT.

by then 1 in 5 will be retired, taxing the workers more, a lot more.  now it is 1 in 8.

the fed deficit is now 10 trillion dollars, mostly on the backs of baby boomers and pre baby boomers.  Guess who has to pay their bill ... that’s right gen x and gen y.  NEITHER PARTY CARES NOR ADDRESSES IT.

both parties SPEND alot.  Dems tax and spend, Repubs borrow and SPEND.  key word is spending.

So i find it extremely comical that anyone under 40 feels so strongly for a group (either) that doesn’t give 2 craps for you, other than you tax dollars to pay for their bloated and inefficient programs.

they got us stuck, our only hope is it isn’t broken completely in 20 years so we can vote and do things that pass off our incredible debt on the generations behind us.  It’s the American way since the 1930’s.

Vote the anti-vote, neither donkey nor elephant ... doesn’t matter who.

Amen for the private savings accounts.

Blame the SS fiasco on the multiple senators and representatives we elected on a consistant basis.  They saw a cookie jar full of cash and couldn’t resist dipping their hands in it and appropriating it elsewhere.

i blame it on my parents generation and the baby boomers.  they don’t want to pay for it, like gen x and y while they ratchet up federal debt.  thanks mom, thanks dad.
