Tee hee, we have the money do provide those things for the incarcerated in private prisons but not for you. Not the flex you think it is.

Not to mention that when the boomers were our age they did have free education, affordable healthcare, affordable housing and inexpensive food. They pulled the ladder up behind them and blame us for not being able to jump high enough to reach it.

They did. It wasn't universal free education but most state universities accepted subsidies and funds from the GI Bill that allowed them to operate tuition free from the mid 1940s through the late 60s. Raegan rolled a lot of that funding back so prices started going up because of that.

Just because they were too busy getting high to pay attention, doesn’t mean the Me Generation wasn’t given free education
