The Pendulum of American Politics
Excerpt: As the elderly die off, the older members of the younger generation become middle-aged. They get married, have kids, buy houses and get mortgages, and get a 401(k). They start to complain about the marriage penalty, public schools that aren’t good enough for their kids, care about the home-mortgage deduction, and want policies that make the stock market rise. They climb up the income ladder and start to get frustrated with tax rates. Also, they start to wonder why pop music isn’t as good as when they were teenagers, and eventually, they start telling kids to get off their lawn. [BOY! Can I identify with this! Except I was doing it back in the 1970s before it was popular, LOL. Jim Geraghty’s Morning Jolt is actually very good today and is well worth reading. Ron P.]
