(8,247 posts)this economic mess we're in is because of Nixon/Reagan and I did NOT vote for either of them. Reagan changed the rules on Pell grants when I was trying to get to college. Then he raised taxes on my waitress pay and they are still suffering from that insanely low pay. I take offense that you are pointing to boomers as the reason this country is a mess. I've done everything I could to overcome what those freaking bastards and the GOP did to this country and finished my degree when I was 45 yrs old. I also have a brother-in-law with a PhD that has not had a permanent job since '08 and he lives in silicon valley! I didn't have any kids so I can't be blamed for not raising them properly. And the fact that I haven't had a job in 7 yrs because of this economy is just a slap in the face from you. I would love to have a job right now but I'm one of the lucky ones. I married someone that can support me/us without me working but I've given up looking for a part time job because there are so many out there suffering to support their own families and I don't want to take one job away from them.
Who's side are you on? The liberals in this country are fed up with these republican talking points and for you post this drivel on this Democratic Underground makes me wonder how that happened?
