1943 to 1960
That was the time frame of the greatest increase in American birth rate in history. And two years ago, the lead elements of that generation began to qualify for social security.
And according to the latest reports? As each year passes over the next five years, the waves of baby boomer eligible for social security will grow exponentially.
The only problem is? We don't have anything left in the system to prop up or support the sudden increase in benefits that are coming due the numbers of baby boomers who will be reaching qualification age. It is not bad enough that those elected and entrusted, have been borrowing against the social security fund and robbing it blind since the late 1960's. Or that our government has hocked our future to infinity in it's attempts to pay for social security and a myriad of entitlement programs.
The real bad news is that aside from the reality of shortfall in the fund, there are no new numbers of people being born to fill in and contribute to the fund as it dies daily through attrition of contribution. And there haven't been born for years now, the numbers needed to keep it afloat.
Prior to WWII, there was the greatest generation. After WWII, there were the Baby Boomers. We had it all. From rock and roll and Elvis to birth control and the Rolling Stones. And now? There are ipods and ipads and cell phones and Blackberrys and big screen plasmas and you name it.
The only problem is, that as our nation's expenditures and debts have grown? Our population has continued to decline. Along with our jobs and manufacturing capability and our leadership stature in the world. Which means that our ability to pay for it has been slowing waning away.
And now? There is no new baby boomer generation to take up the slack, much less to maintain any equilibrium. We saw to that with Roe vs. Wade. There are an endless myriad of arguments pro and con concerning abortion in America, but one argument that you never hear made, is the effect on the nation that abortion has had. The affect to our work force, the affect to our heritage, the affect to our production capabilities and so on. And yes, the affect on social security.
Who will be paying for these programs like social security that we as a group (baby boomers) have paid into all our life. Who pays our benefits after everything that we ever contributed to has been squandered and wasted. There is nothing left for us now and there is nothing in the pipe behind us, since we saw fit to allow the killing of twenty million people. Those people would for the most part be contributing citizens today. Working and paying taxes and contributing to social security and expanding our economic base. But they aren't. They were never born. More specifically? They were killed off.
Perhaps in a perfect world their potential contributions would have been the present reality. But we gave up on our aspirations to live in a better world of peace and prosperity of life long ago. We as a nation opted to chase after Nirvana and the promises of a very real yet purposely obscured socialist agenda.
And now that we have reached that point in our lives when we should be reaping the benefits of our labors? Those benefits have taken from us. What we were able to create in wealth for our retirement years, has been decimated via the foot loose playing of the capitalist system. A system that these interloping egalitarians and socialists were hell bent on destroying. While they systematically killed off the social security program, one cut and one slice at at time? They were also killing off the life blood of production and prosperity for future generations in this country.
These killers abandoned the premise that all men are created equal and opted for a scheme of trying to make all mean equal. And in doing so, they lost track of the words in the preamble.
They failed to "promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."
So here we are. As a group, now washing up on the flotsam tossed shore of our retirement years, as we watch our floundering republic and our dying economy. And there is nothing there on that shore for us now. All that we saved and worked for and paid into has been either lost, destroyed or pissed away. And the manna that was promised is as elusive as it always has been.
We have gone from that shining city on a hill, to being the new ghetto of the coming age of new world order. And I'll bet you never even thought about the loss of that baby boomer generation that was purposely lost.
You never thought about it until now.
