Blaming Boomers has become a part time hobby of mine, since they have been blaming "Millennials" for nearly two decade,for all the troubles the US has come to see.... like it all started when Millennials started voting....
At the same time, just ignoring it was under THEIR watch, most of US production was outsourced, healthcare and medicine costs skyrocket, public education and college costs explode because of defunding and wages has been stagnant....
Boomers grew up in the best time in the US ever... paid for by TAXES. Only to privatize it all when they grew up, because they didn't want to pay no damn taxes for it. Their parents paid taxes for it, and made sure they grew up in the BEST EVER economical period that any country has ever seen.
Boomers wanted low taxes instead, voting for Politicians who made it possible to outsource with impunity.. just as long as they gave them a tiny tax break as well. Boomers wanted low taxes and privatization. And they got it...
Results... outsourced production sector, low wages, no immigration laws from EITHER party, because privatization trumped everything... and both of them keeps wages down.
Education Boomers could pay of with a summer job back in the day, now costs hundreds of thousands of dollars because of defunding.... but its Millennials fault. Healthcare that should cost HALF of what it does today, if the US just did as every other 1st world country... but its Millennials fault. 2008, which nearly broke the back of the Millennials in their start up years... caused by negligence and dont give [bleep] attitude from the Boomer generation... but its the Millennials fault. 20 God Damn years of war, that the Millennials have had to fight in....
And all the while, Boomers have secured themselves in their "golden years"... while their Children, the Millennials have inherited a massive beast of underfunded liabilities, because Boomers didn't give a [bleep] about paying taxes. They are just sucking the teat dry of the last thing the Greatest Generation left them... a nearly functioning welfare state.
But... its all Millennials fault.
. Which Boomers are you talking about?,......those who were one year old in 1947 or those who were one year old in 1963?

1947 + 21years = 1968..
So.. Boomers started to vote in 1968 and out...
And since Nixon, there have been a stream of Republican Presidents (including Clinton) that was very happy to Privatize and outsource and do nothing about immigration.

Kent Reagan sent a letter urging congress to ban “assault weapons”, working with Clinton while he did that. That’s ok?

To everyone blaming boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, Greatest (those still among us), any group of people you define solely by being born in certain years, I offer this challenge.
Change the world.
It's that simple. Change the world.
Since you have the horrible example of all of the mistakes made by your greedy and short sighted forebears you have the opportunity to correct all of that in one generation - yours - and create a Utopia. You can vote in politicians who are not self serving liars. You can "educate" the public so they won't fall for those lies and everybody will put the common good well ahead of their own personal needs. Thanks to your efforts every single member of the populace will see and not fall into the trap of voting in politicians who promise largesse from public funds.
You can absolutely stop people who lust for power over others from ever being given power. You can guarantee that large successful companies never dominate any segment of the market, and that monetary support of legislators and other government officials is completely transparent and has no effect on the laws they create.
You have the opportunity to change human nature itself, something no one in no land anywhere in recorded history has been able to do. But you can do it.
Change the world.
We'll check in with you in 2050 and see how you're doing with that.
No, you won’t.

Ok,Boomer isn’t ok you old retard born between x and y.
It simply means ok,you old retard we get it you’ve managed breath and eat long enough to live past your prime.
Getting old isn’t an accomplishment and it gets old listening to old farts talk about how they’re better simply because they are old.
And those same old [bleep] are from the same generation that failed to secure a free and prosperous America for the younger generation they love to bash. Because it was easier to just go to work and go along to get along than it was to stand for something. Why would someone join a forum just to insult 80% of the members? Seems odd. Do you hunt and/or fish? Introduce yourself, newbie. It’s only an insult if you’re the boomer that was happy to vote away gun rights and let liberalism take hold. Yes I hunt and fish. 1. We didn't. 2. Doubt you've been out of mum's basement this week. 3. Get off your ass and wash that onesie. It stinks.. LIKE YOU.

I know Im going to get disparaged for this but Ive always spoke my mind, what there is of it anyway.
Listening to all the blame thats getting put on the boomers, the millineals, the x's and y's reminds me a whole lot of what the democrats have been doing for the past 4 years and thats blaming Trump for everything. So I guess that makes all you fools here blaming someone else a DEMOCRAT!
Go ahead....put me on ignore.
Life (and forums) is like a box of animal crackers----There's a Jackass in every box
