Eisenhower called out the biggest power & corruption game going when he left office. FWIW, E's advisors strongly advised him to redact the "congressional" part of his cautionary parting speech about the military-industrial-congressional complex. Make no mistake about the wacko, debt-debauched, over-militaried, over-entitled world we find ourselves in - it was already GAME ON in a big way, long before the boomers were created as post-war celebrations. Could it be that even the Greatest Generation had a hand in it? No, it was all the Boomers. It was us dastardly 5 year-olds Ike was warning about in his parting address. The same boomers who protested Vietnam and were called unpatriotic for it. We dared flout the M-I-C complex because probably, we just didn't know what we were up against.
Yep, it's all the boomers' fault. At the least, I hope that makes everyone else feel comfortable about their role in our current "interesting times". Hah. Does anyone really believe all the world's problems will be solved just because the Boomers pass away??? Dream on. Better yet, start fighting for common cause with like-minded members of all generations.
