The Griftest Generation

Bonuses for those who took risky bets? I have 165 million reasons to withhold AIG's next $30 billion bailout.

Tom Brokaw wrote about a generation of who fought in WWII, changed international politics, constructed the interstate highways, broke down civil rights barriers, built the American middle class, and put a man on the moon.

What happened to this greatest generation? When did financial accumulation trump ethics or even common sense? Your children will have to pay for your tax breaks and corporate bailouts. They will do so while living in the environmental hazards that you set up for them.

I wonder who will write about this generation?
