Paul Ryan is Mitt's VP

My age as a trump card? Hardly. I said I've been around. No more, no less.

Incorrect. Your age is brought to light in nearly every heated political discussion on this board. When I have the time later today, I'll post a minimum of 25 examples that are direct quotes from you.

Another typical response.

Prove him wrong then, oh wise and mighty one! Let's hear you spin how that is not an absolute, undeniable fact.

Your generation has given my generation this situation were in and all the costs for the next 30 years associated with it.

That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. 100% wrong, but funny.

And we are well aware of how much "being around" has and will be costing us.

Your age is not a virtue, and it doesnt have the effect you think it does in your arguments.

His (hell, my kids) generation fell for Obama's bullshit. It's a fact. It's sad, but they bought into his act hook, line, and sinker.

Age does not make me feel wiser, I've just seen more shit. Usually, it's related to Carter/Reagan when I use my age. It was my first big election, and it did shape the nation.

You can't tell him shit. I used to know it all, too.

Oh please, prove me wrong. Show me all the entitlements us 25 year olds have saddled on to the 5 year olds of today.

Just about every dollar of debt today has been voted on, approved by, sucked on, and protected by for by the baby boomers. Prove that wrong.

Not all of them. I have a whopping one friend, that voted for Obama. One. But he has always been a liberal.

His generation (end of Carter/Reagan 1st term) versus YOUR generation (end of Bush/0bama)

YOU do the math.

Please, obie wan, tell me some shit. Tell me how much of the unfunded liabilities for nedicare and social secutiry are my generations fault? Tell me that me paying my money into these programs because i have to by law, yet will never see a dime of it in all likelyhood is my generations fault.

Lay some knowledge on me, Pop.

In 1960, there were 4.9 workers paying for every retiree. Today, there are 2.8 workers for every beneficiary. By 2035, there will only be 1.9 workers for each beneficiary.


With the dubious assumption that it's still around - of course.

The Medis are in even worse shape.

You do realize that neither of those generations are, mine, right? I dont see any 25-35 year old senators or congressmen running about making policy and law. Do you?


I see where his generation of politicians has voted for and signed all of that into law. Show me where my generation are in elected office, and voted in spending.

Rest assured, well have our time. Dont bet on full benefits, cause we probably wont let you have em.

No no no... you painted him into the "his generation" corner, so you made it real specific. If truth be told, your generation also includes the start of the Bush second term, that would have been your first year to vote, so everything that was passed from then on be on your back as well. So, be sure to add everything from 2004- into your column when you do that math.

As I thought, as soon as I made that post your next one would be to add in all the qualifiers as to make it "not your fault". Sounds an awful like 0bama blaming Bush....
