The 50 Something Boomers Were PUSHED OUT And Discarded By An Economy Started By Reagan.

With the beginning of the Reagan Revolution it was a virtual certainty that the boomers would be eventually discarded. It was the Reagan/GOP plan all along if one sits and reviews history the last 30 years. Everything changed the day Reagan took the oath. He was going to turn everyone over to the rich and he and his allies and acolytes over time have pretty much accomplished it.

The meme that the GOP will keep the House is an abomination. Boomers should remember that the GOP sponsored this mess. Dems are somewhat responsible but big money and threats pushed them right as well. And when you own the media you can determine the message and the GOP allies own just about all of it.

If voters had enough sense to go against the money and phony ads, the GOP could not win. But it does not look like voters will do it.
Until people vote Democratic and push them left again it will only get worse.

The GOP has bigger plans for America that are in the worst interest of America. PSST. Learn to speak Chinese.
