All I said is 2 things:
1) I learned about "Runaway" from the intro to Crime Story in 1986, and
2) Del Shannon recorded the version of "Runaway" used for the intro. By definition, a recording by the original artist is not a cover.
My values and comportment would place me closer to "The Silent Generation" (of which my parents were and are members) rather than the Boomer generation.
Heck, I see all those Boomers memeing about "Keep you hands off my Social Security" and Millenials trying to go full socialist and I realize that if these 2 generations ever realize how much they have in common, the rest of us are screwed.

I remember manufacturing here in Indiana in the 70s and 80s, lots of places to work, lots of people employed, a great many with black faces. When NAFTA was passed in the 90s and democrats actually voted for it I thought they were committing political suicide back then. Didn't happen, so I'll wait and see if things change, but you're right, they really don't owe the democrats a thing.
The difference is: I paid into social security for almost 50 years. Those little **** Millennials are living on mom and staying in her basement.
Give me back what I paid in and my employers paid into social security and you can cancel the program. Socialism my ass.......
How is he wrong?You obviously haven't looked at financial statements of the US government.
You are
It is all about that one word.It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of double entry bookkeeping, the nature of trust funds of the US Government, the national debt and the Federal Reserve system and Treasury Department.
If one doesn't understand accounting, there is no use debating the topic.
Like Trump says: "what have you got to lose?" by giving him and Republicans a chance.
It is all about that one word.
This say presupposes that someone doesn't have something to lose. Or that their state of being, is so low, it can't be any worse. It's a sentiment that isn't often taken very well by the intended audience. But just for the sake of argument, let's entertain it. The question, I'd have to ask, is "what have I got to gain?"[an end to dependence] and "why would supporting him allow me to attain it?" [because he isn't proposing to give them anything, only open the way to attain it for themselves] and "what has prevented me from getting it in the first place on my own?"[the need by Democrats to foster predictable en bloc voting]
I take that to mean that Democrats aren't doing much for blacks right now, so if they abandon the Democrats for the Republicans their loss will be small/non-existent and outweighed by potential gains
By 2032/2034 the numbers game will come to an end unless something occurs with ss.
They will have to reduce benefits, readjust the payout or increase taxes to continue for it to work.
The national debt is what...$22 trillion? We could discuss how the entire amount gets paid down (taxes, printing more money, which causes inflation/hyper-inflation---another form of tax, selling off/exchanging US assets for debt (give Yosemite to the Chinese, for example. Or sell off mineral rights).
Most of those approaches are draconian. As Cheney said "Deficits don't matter". To a certain extent, that is true in prudently managed scenarios. But politics and prudence are somewhat mutually exclusive.
The difference is: I paid into social security for almost 50 years. Those little **** Millennials are living on mom and staying in her basement.
