[Vision2020] Senate Bill 1110 (Education - Pay for Performance)

[Donovan Arnold]

Joe,
 
Yes, aside from some advances in social justices, the baby-boomers made America way worse off than it had been handed. You produced Bush, elected him, and supported idiots like him. You created the commercialization of everything for profit. Your generation destroyed the economy. To proclaim the blame on one single person in the last eight years is idiotic even for someone so far removed from the real world as a professor of philosophy. Scapegoating seems to be the mantra of the baby-boomers. Unlike the previous generation of "The Buck Stops Here".  Now it is play hot potato with the buck. "It is his fault, her fault, their fault, not at all my fault."

No actually the problem was Bush. Be honest.


There is something odd and ignorant about seeing America at it's finest pre-1960 -- prior to the civil rights movement. 


Let me guess: you're not black, you're not a woman.


I still think our best days are yet to come, after the Tea Party becomes a bad memory, the political equivalent of the mullet.

Joe,
 
Actually the problem is the spoiled and morally corrupted baby-boomer generation. That generation is arguably one of the worst generations to occupy this nation. There is nothing it has not destroyed; the economy, the environment, the good jobs, the educational institutions, you name it, they even made drugs and sex a deadly game.

Bull. This is just tea party rhetoric. Blaming blacks has become unfashionable, so teachers are the new scapegoats.

We're in trouble because folks like you  -- name less uncompromising zealots -- elected an idiot for two straight terms. He started two wars, which we can't escape, drove up the debt, and ran us into an economic recession.
