We were told that if we put our heads down, worked hard in high school, studied, went to class, paid attention that we would go to a good college. That should of tipped us off, it was the first lie they told us. Then they said, you will find yourself in college, but keep a good GPA, study hard, party hard on weekends, keep up with your work, do an internship or two, endear yourself to professors, graduate on time with some sort of honors, and you will get a good job, and life will flow smoothly from there. What a crock of shit. At that point we should have known something was up. Then they tell you to get a credit card, spend reasonably on it, within your means, build your credit, create a home, it is all good for when you need to get a mortgage on a house or a loan for that first car you buy in your name, and you follow, again alarm bells should be ringing at this point. Still you listen and follow the path. You get a car you cannot afford, because the dealer convinces you that really you can with some ‘fuzzy math’ and there you go, you get that nice pink slip within a few weeks. CONGRATULATIONS! Welcome to the world. Oh and before we forget, just wait, just wait till you see the bill you will get in about 25 years courtesy of what your current leaders, politicians, business men, lobbyists, and of course parents. Enjoy the rest of your life, because you will spend it paying off the excess and fuckups of the baby boomers and your parents, all because we are the least involved generation, who just tunes out, and gets the shortest end of the stick. Wake up guys. Start noticing that today’s decisions, bailouts, tax cuts, will be paid by YOU, China has no interest in acquiring more US debt, it is going to come out of your living standards, your paycheck and your hours spent at work away from your children to pay back today’s problems. We will be the first generation that has a lower standard of living in modern history.
Ask questions about how the $700 billion is going to be paid back? Why is no question being asked about bank management and their ridiculous bonuses and questionable decisions, but the Detroit crowd is getting killed for less than 5% of the money that was given to Wall St. And why does anyone let a bunch of Senators who are in the pocket of Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes, and whose only goal is to LOWER wages of workers…how on earth does this make sense to anyone in the middle of a recession, why is no one writing letters to these idiots?
