^ Yes, you are right, it's the reason this country knocked out the evil empires during WW2, the reason you have the Automobile industry, the reason this country is in rule of the World. Yes, you are correct, and I take that as a compliment, because had this generation not done it, we would be lagging the rest of the world. No matter what shape this country is in, it's highlights from this generation of people have exceeded all generations in the history of mankind!

Doubt anyone born in the 30's fought in WW2. Also, you have to look at who is running things at those time. 30 year olds are not running anything, it is the older generations, usually considered the leaders and those responsible for their country are the 40-60 age group. So starting in the 60's-70's is when this referred to generation took control. Wow haven't things been peachy since then. Our economy has basically been crap except for a small stint in the 90's due to a massive technological boom, and the creating of NAFTA and other free trade agreements which allowed a surge of cheap goods into a strong economy, but over time the shipping out of jobs has taken its effect.

They have had us in countless pointless wars in their attempt to "rule" the world as you so state it. To the point where our country is on perilously close to self destruction. Look at our pathetic presidential candidates we have this year. Neither is even close to worthy of the Presidency, and Bush was not either.

Those generations have allowed the raping and pillaging of our nation and its people.

Way to go, don't worry we will fix it when we get the chance, until then we will have to put up with more idiocy from our "leaders"
