Today’s Big Idea to Get America Working: Hire The Young to Build Their Own Future

Well, the White House released news of their plan to find work for the million or so military that have served their time and are unemployed by giving taxbreaks to companies to encourage them to hire as many ex-soldiers as possible.

Then there's the plans to find work for all the young people so they don't sit around wasting their time because there's nothing like being young and not making money to buy all the trinkets young people feel is important in their lives and many live with "Mom and Dad" anyway and surely the parents want their children out from underfoot for a few hours every day.

But, where does that leave the older "boomers' that are stuck between still needing to work and too young to retire, if they HAD anything to retire on, expecially if our government gets its way and cuts benefits on SS and MediCare. Or the second slap in the face by increasing the age reqiirement to be eligible for either one.

They talk about those "Me", "X" and "Y" generations, but what about the "Lost Generation" of older folks? Or are we the "Forgotten Generation"...I forget, my dementia kicks in every now and then to recall which I have become.

Perhaps we should have our own "March on Washington" and call it the "We Want Our Country Back That Was STOLEN From Us" March.

We cab do it in style, too! First, paraders will consist of those who can still walk. Followed by those of us who use motorized wheelchairs. And those that are bed-ridden can pull up the rear by being pushed down Pennsylvania Boulevard in their hospital beds!

We'l need "oxygen tents" set up along the way for those who need an extra boost to breath occasionally. Those "porta-johns" will have to be strategically placed for the expected "unexpected breaks". Naybe get the company that manufactures adult diapers to sponsor few locations along the way to advertise their "wares" and give out samples when needed.

And if we could get all of those pharmaceutical companies that bombard us with all those commercials at the dinner hour, we'd be ready for just about any unforeseen situations of irritable bowel systems, dry vaginas, leaky bladders, creaky knees. aching backs, thrombosis of the legs, fluctuations of cholesterol, sugar, blood presssure of heart palpitations! And at the end of our March, to use as an enticement, the Viagra booth for when our marching is all done and we have enough energy left, we can celebrate with a little "peace, love and rock & rolling" for our reward for coming together and having our weak, emphysema-strained voices being heard as loud and clear as we can wheezingly cry out in protest of what our government is doing to us.collectively.

Which is ignoring our needs that we worked so hard for all our adult lives and should not become second-class citizens because of our ages!

Now, after I take a nap and regain my strength, I shall email this to all my fellow fighters for freedom from feeble fustilugs forcing future fatalistic financial fund fallacies upon us by telling us there's no money for us from all of those
"entitlement" programs we so diligently paid into for decades!

Oh well. I sure feel like I've been shafted again! I suppose I'm not "American" enough to be counted anymore. I've been reduced to a "Third Class Citizen" in my own country!
