Actually, I was being sarcastic in my earlier comment. I keep hoping
folks will look at Greece and
see just what this dependence on the government can do. But, I've a
feeling most of those
'dependant' are watching something besides the news and never reading
a paper.

John there's an old saying that goes something like this:

"It's much more difficult to take something away from someone than to
have never given it to them in the first place"

I think our generation is having the most difficulty accepting the
changes that are taking place. We can remember how it "used" to be.
The younger generation (who really are the ones that matter now)
don't realize what has happened.
They're more interested in what they get for free or what they are
"entitled" to. I see this all the time in the attitudes of young
people. I am not blaming them. It's just the way they are being
indoctrinated into society.

I see my sons-in-law busting their butts, along with my daughters. Most of the folks living around
me now are of that generation. Only a few of us old farts here. Those folks are busting their butts
also, I know of no stay-at-home moms here. Both adults work.

So maybe it's the generation after that, or, more than likely, the multi-generations of inner-city
folks who've been on the dole for a long time.

It *is* the generation after. It would be your grandkid's
generation. Don't know what they call it.

The 'Grandkids' Generation. Luckily, mine have parents who are presenting a hard work ethic. Both my
older grandsons took or are taking, geometry in the eighth grade - two years ahead of the norm.

Now if I could just convince them that a military academy is a good place to go!

Social Security is a prime example.

They are slowly catching on. When they spend $100,000 to $200,000 for a college education and
fine out that the only jobs available are part time menial jobs that cannot support their
educational expenses or the life that they expected they are going to go one of two ways,
unemployed or very ****ed offf.

They're more interested in what they get for free or what they are
"entitled" to. I see this all the time in the attitudes of young
people. I am not blaming them. It's just the way they are being
indoctrinated into society.
