Thank you for thoroughly fucking up the economy. Thanks to you, your sons and daughters are going to have to spend the rest of their short lives fixing the mess you guys fearlessly put us in by getting into debt and buying too many homes. Im so pissed right now. Im competing for a dishwashing job with adults. Life should not be this much of a hassle.
Thoughts opinions ideas? feel free to insert a joke and calm me down

malign the culture of excess, not the people who became trapped by it.

but seriously, how do you think people were able to borrow on such shitty credit?  equally deserving of blame are the scumbags who encouraged it - creditors, lenders, and politicians alike.

Actually blame your Grandparents, they fucked up the economy in the 1945 recession. Our parents where just following the trend.

I'm looking forward to the recession we cause in 2073!

Life is gonna be a total bitch for our generation. Lets all smoke up and forget

I believe fixing the economy and gay marriage can go hand in hand because if we have leaders rational enough to fix the economy they will be rational enough to ban gay marriage.

2012 could be true

my parents own 1 house, they have absolutely no debt, and have handled my brothers credit cards and such so well and for a while (not like giving them no freedom, but making sure they dont fuck up) that my brother are not in any and have never been in any debt either. Everyone has perfect credit.

don't blame the whole generation, blame your own god dam parents

the gov't and businesses are run by the self interest of regular people silly


to the people that have safely handled debt, you will reap the rewards ( i think thats the right phrase lol)

where to begin...now see yes, they are part responsible for this, but what are you going to do about it? frankly i think that's what people aren't thinking about, and for as many in our generation who don't give two shits about the environment, wildlife, amungst most importantly slave labor, third world exploitation, and the bottom line of corportate america, than you're just as bad.

this generation is 100 times as pathetic and self centered as the last. I'm sure we'll outdo them by a mile by the time we're as old.

blame the fuckers who dont know good economic sense.  my dad retired at the age of 58 (im 20, he is 70 now)..  he didnt work and was living on retirement for awhile with some stuff in the stock market and things were going good...  but then the market started to go down when i was a freshman and he decided to go get another job as a part time bus driver just in case.  now, we arents living super nice but we are getting by comfortably, my dad is working, he can pay for me to go to an in state school (the cheapest in state, but still a 4 year school), and when i come home i work for the City, give half of every paycheck to my dad to send to me at school for groceries and stuff and put the rest away.  so dont blame the generation, blame the ones running the banks, politicians, and everyone else that doesnt have good economic sense that fucked everything up.

i agree but goverment definitaly plays a big role to, they could have seen this coming and don't decide to anything till the last second. Our goverment does some fucked up stupid shit from spending money to world affairs. ol Goergey Dubya didn't help to much either.

Agreed.

On that note, if you want to blame something blame capitalism, democracy, the country system and religion. Thats where the big problems come from.
