The Shallowest Generation

I concur we are all to blame, but in particular the "greatest" generation - more appropriately the WORST generation for creating the ponzi scheme of Social Security, which as yet has gone unfixed since its origins. How can a generation be great that votes themselves a giant pay raise being the main beneficiary. You call this sacrifice! How can a program be consider great when it constantly needs fixing, the main fix being constantly needing more money. The ones that sacrificed were dead prior to 1945. The ones that lived, lived off the fat of the land. Since most of them were drafted it was not a volunteer army either. Clearly they are closer to the WORST generation than the "greatest" generation. Since Tom Brokaw coined the phrase, then it must be load of crapola.
