Reducing taxes so I can afford to hire more people at my business?
Hiring more people so they can pay more taxes and purchase things other people need to make so they hire more workers also who pay more taxes?
Cutting back on EPA and IRS regulations so businesses can expands rather than close?
Drilling and producing more of our own 200 year supply of oil?
Change welfare so you will be ahead if you take one of those jobs, not worse off?
Stop ignoring the constitution?
Back off of the concept everything you do is permitted by some kind of law or you can not do it, including what kind of toilet you can purchase for your house.

Yep, us old guys are out of touch and voted for the lesser of the evils.

We are of the generation that invented radio, TV, video games, your cell phones, computers, the internet, your tincan cars, put a man on the moon using sliderules, and tried to give you an education of common sense. Somewhere we failed and tried to support you until you could support yourself. Instead too many learned to work the system, and the system is generous because it can still spend someone else's money. Now the system is getting strangled. We are broke as a nation and you will wake up one day and see the results of you efforts. Look how much closer we are to a third world country we are now than say 1980. Yep, us old guys are out of touch with what is going on now. That is because we touched the 60's, 70's, and the 80's, sorry you all missed it. We built it, and proud we did. We are not reaching out in joy to touch what is here and now and in store for the rest of the 2010's and beyond. Good luck to you and your socialism and your new world order mentality. Enjoy what you have now, it will be much less later. Sugar daddy is cutting you off.

yep i was there thru the 60's, 70's and 80's. I was there with you and was part of that history as well. Unlike you though, im not stuck in that era.

I do, however, feel like im reliving my past. Instead of 60's hippies we have occupiers. Instead of of the 70's recession, fuel crunch,and housing market, we have recession, a fuel crunch and housing crisis. Instead of the cold war, inflation, rising taxes, and high unemployment, we have our war on terror, high inflation, rising taxes and high unemployment.

So tell me whats changed? It appears we've taught our children well, theyre following the path we blazed.

solutions can only be discussed if we agree on the problem. The solution isn't as simple as one liners on a message board.

neither party agrees on the problem. therefore, there is no solution being considered by both parties. they will keep kicking the can until the can disintegrates. this is how empires collapse. prepare accordingly...

Actually, you "old guys" didn't "build" all these technological wonders. A great many of them were built by my generation (40's and younger).

Now that we have solved that you guys are going to leave us with all the mess, what is the ETA on getting your obstructionist asses off the national stage and out of our way? After all, like you say, it's ours to either crash off the cliff or rebuild.

And instead of tax and spend liberals, we have spend and tax liberals.

Here's the problem, a federal government violating the enumerated powers listed in the Constitution and uneducated Americans who either don't know what is in that document or Americans subverting that document for their own gain.
