I really want to like Matt and his commentary, but lately he has been pointing out problems without solutions. Just rants, indignation and haughty divisiveness.
I am a late Boomer Era man, born in 1960. When people use words and slogans against people, it devalues them as a human. Once you start devaluing and labeling people, it becomes easier to rise (sink?) to other levels… “No Senior Discount today, BOOMER”! “Sorry, you have been here long enough, my turn BOOMER”! Progressing to, “Hey BOOMER, let’s start MAID here in America, why should Canada have all the fun” ?!
Social Security and its recipients are not the problem with our economy. Reckless spending, the flood of illegals and their financial support are what is causing our financial ills.
Citing “Boomer” at all times for the financial ills of our Republic is not the solution. I EARNED my Social Security and rely on it. I never had a high paying job in my life. Working in the medical field was my joy, providing for and helping others was my passion. I never earned a big paycheck, but I sure paid in my fair share to Social Security. I never made enough to invest other than a paltry 401k.
So Matt, stop being a surly little flannel boy and shut your mouth about things you should have thought through a little better. “Look before you speak” comes to mind. Go hang out with your enflannelled, beared, wanna be Viking Lumberjack friends and try out for the next Brawny paper towels mascot tryout.
