Congress is not much more than a cheer squad at a football game anymore... the rampant expansion of executive power in the past 20 years has helped to create this problem.

His tolerance for men who feel they are one of
the new 60 genders and wants to bath with small girls at public restrooms would have also been low. What a bigot.

Management way overestimated future profits then blamed the unions when they started losing money.
Look, at the Great Lakes states. The surrounding communities. And the damage that was done.
Nobody forced those companies to move their plants overseas. They did it for one reason. Profit. Excess profit. Don't blame the unions. If they accepted a 50% cut in wages, many foreign workers would under cut them.
An honest working wage will be had for a depleting workforce of a job a growing generation believes is below them.

I think you mean that poorly constructed sentence above to be a dig at the younger generation. Even though I am older than you, I prefer that generation to yours, whichever one it is.

The generation of Martians?
Seeing the unions boys were overpaid by 200%, a 50% cut was not all that impressive.
Union = bad deal for useful workers.

No offense taken.
Baby Boomers wear a badge of honor as being the worst generation this planet has ever seen.
You inherited the greatest nation of all time after WWII, and then took, and took, and took, and took. And will leave nothing for anybody else because you'll keep taking well into retirement.
You then spawned a bunch of losers called Millennials who can't even tie their own shoes.
Well done assholes.

Gee, a cranky toddler dirtied his diaper.
Maybe your folks will clean up your cranky UNGRATEFUL ass so you can go bed·dy-bye?

Ungrateful?
I love my parents. I visit them often, and love them dearly.
I also paid my way through college, while working a job or 7, and have paid my entire way since I was out of high school.
You?

You seem to be crying a lot.
Remember Chumpy is a baby boomer. Cheer up the cosmos, HE claims, is about to get much, much better and great again.
MCGA!

You're an idiot.
I feel 100% safe in making that proclamation.

I was about to explain to Lemon Drop Husker about the accomplishments of the baby boomer generation, (there are many) and you had to remind me of that.
Tune in tomorrow to learn what the B.B. generation has contributed. A lot more than LDH’s Gen X

I googled “Accomplishments of baby boomers and came up with, The artificial heart, the World Wide Web, AppleIi, The USB port, nanomachines and many more. About 25 in all ,
I did the same for Gen X and found an article”13 accomplishments of Gen X. Turned out to be a list 13 things that happened to them, nothing of what they did.

Had to deal with the Cold War and MAD. Wht do these kids have as difficult?
Oh I forgot Chumpy. But many have already gone belly up willingly kissing his butt.
Real tough generation X and Y
