What you've just described happens with every generation, and Greece hasn't been a superpower since the days of Zeus.

I wasn't meaning to compare Greece as a world power, I was meaning to highlight the fact that Greece has financially spiraled down to insolvency relying on bailouts from foreign countries to survive, which is where I see us heading if we don't get our finances in check

Using the fact that this is simply another generation in which every prior generation swears is bringing this country down is true...

Every generation HAS brought this country down...

The cost of living increases every year more than the wages do, kids have less and less respect for anyone and anything, greed and corruption grows, schools don't teach subjects like they used to but have become more politically correct and terribly afraid to mention certain topics such as Jesus, but can say anything they want about Allah, until Trump repealed the order or law whatever it was banning prayer in public places, kids couldn't pray in schools, with the exception of Muslims (which is bull [BLEEP])...and the list goes on

Yeah..every generation has it's faults, but we are allowing this generation to act as they do with all their protesting (which is just a term they use for rioting and looting)...Oh the government says Oh thats bad, that's disrespectful, that's against the law, and that's as far as they go to stop it...

We didn't get where we are today by the failures of any single generation, we got here by the sum of every preceding generation..
