Look at the strength of the US economy, then look at the size of the country, then look at the population, then look at the ethnic mix with which they have achieved that strength

You do tend to sound like a Trump supporter though when it comes to wanting a simply pasty white population.

If we have a problem with an aging population then what we need to do is teach everyone caligraphy. Problem solved.

I have a very hard time taking old-people seriously as the wise stewards of the economy.  These are the people who racked up hundreds of billions of dollars of government debt during the most prosperous time in human history with ludicrous spending, on everything from heavily subsidized university tuition to oodles of government jobs to rich pensions to generous social programs.  And, once they had made off with everything they could carry, they suddenly realized the need to cut expenditures.  Education is unaffordable! Tighten the belts!  These social programs are unaffordable! Tighten the belts! Taxes are too high! We need to cut expenditures in all of these areas!  Also, we need to spend more money on hip replacements and elder care!  Their concerns are limited entirely to their immediate circumstances. Like true psychopaths, they're incapable of being concerned for anyone except themselves.

The phrase you're looking for isn't "economically invested", it's "greedy".  This is the "I got mine" generation, pulling up the ladder behind themselves.

The economic acuity of the Baby Boom generation is a gigantic myth. The truth is that these people are criminals, and perpetuated an enormous heist. That's the reality of it.

That's changing.  Old-people aren't the biggest voting bloc anymore.  Millennials are.

That's old-people.  A dumb-ass old-person sharing a video she got sent by some other dumb-ass old-people, sharing the same **** amongst all their friends because they're too god damned stupid to figure anything out for themselves.

 

1. I will get old and I will be stupid.

2.You should count yourself lucky if you ever get to their age.

Newspapers? TV news?  Hey, I bet more old-people listen to Town Criers for their news too. 

I don't think listening to angry-old-people talk-radio for 8 hours a day and sharing bullshit fake-news stories on Facebook makes old-people well-informed.

The racism part simply comes from them growing up at a time when they were the only race around. Everyone else is a newcomer, an interloper. And I'm not even sure it's really a 'race' thing so much as a culture thing. The newcomers don't just look different, but talk different, dress different, eat different and act different, after all. The homophobic thing comes from the religion.

I don't think, though, if you did a questionnaire for a thousand seniors and a thousand immigrants half their age you'd find the old people were more kookily religious, homophobic or racist than the newcomers.
