And oh by the way, they hate your generation with a fiery passion for all the damage you've done to the world, just as their teachers and heroes are telling them to.

To get back to SLF, I guess that 27 trillion is a number that won't collapse the economy, but 28 trillion is just too much, especially if it means 40 million people have more money in their pockets to put back into the economy.

I have been saying this for years. Gen X'rs should already have control of most of the power structures, but Boomers have held on WAY longer than any previous generation. Gen X is the generation that is best equipped to deal with most of our current issues, and we have been practically banned from any leadership. I read a study a few years back that showed Boomers were skipping Gen X'rs for leadership, feeling that a younger generation would to better in those positions, and I think that's partly to blame for the rise of Critical Theory in the American zeitgeist. If I cared more, I'd post it, but I completely agree with the bolded above.
