The boomer generation has screwed up this country. Just borrowing and borrowing and borrowing.
The interest payment on the debt of this country is going to eat up most of the budget. The next generations are screwed.

Last night, CBS refused to air Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico after pressure from Trump. Colbert addressed the issue with his audience and released the clip online anyway.
RETWEET to thank Colbert for standing up for free speech!
“I made $16 an hour in a steel mill. My house payment was $125 a month. ONE job was enough.”
An older American explains how the middle class used to live. You could own a home AND raise a family. Then the jobs vanished, wages collapsed, costs exploded—and the middle class died.
James Sexton, divorce attorney who's seen it all, drops a raw truth bomb:
Our entire society is engineered to distract you from the one fact that would shatter the consumer machine—if you truly internalized that you're going to die, you'd stop buying most of the meaningless shit they're selling.
He proposes a radical reset: Mandatory 1–2 years of hospice volunteering at 18.
Why? Because spending time with the dying strips everything bare.
They don't talk about their bank accounts, status, or possessions.
They talk about:

Sexton shares his mom's final cancer surgery—20 minutes in, doctors closed her up: cancer everywhere, nothing more to do. In that instant, every other worry in his life got turned down to zero volume. All that mattered was time left to love her, to make sure she knew.
Reminder: There is a finite number of times you'll kiss your wife, hug your kids, call your parents. You don't know the number. You'll only realize it after you've passed it.
That finitude is what makes every moment sacred.
Living forever would be a curse.
Right now, the people you love are alive—right now.
Kiss them as many times as you want.
That is the greatest thing in the world.
Powerful, uncomfortable, beautiful perspective. Keep death in your line of sight—it's the ultimate clarity filter.
@digitalgold@GeorgeGammon Anyone thinking about getting a 50 year mortgage has got to be stupid.
The payment difference is very little. And you’ll have to pay a higher interest rate, and pay for 20 more years.
When leaders of my own party protect sex traffickers, spend our grandkids into oblivion, fund endless wars, lockdown our citizens, bailout corporations, bow to other countries, and hurt small farmers…
…it’s true that I won’t be their yes man.
