I guess selling our country out to China was the best idea for us younguns as well?

Or expecting the new generation to pay for social security even though they're unlikely to get any of that money back by retirement age. Or that job security isn't a reasonable request in the United States of America (No, I'm not asking for a hand out. Just the idea that my job isn't expendable), and as a result of all the worker class being left in droves because it simply doesn't pay enough or isn't secure enough to make a living. Which is fine, if it didn't leave a big hole that needs to be filled, and which immigrates are most likely to fill. Even though I'd much rather take our lumps that come with the self-deportation that will follow when we get tough on immigration (which is happening now at the state/city level since Congress is so useless), instead of depending on a workforce for the backbone of our country that is from other countries. I suppose that was all in our best interest, so I'll have to offer a non-thank you for leaving us "younguns" with the bag.
