To be fair to the boomers, the exact same thing is being done by the millennials. There's a reason why 75% of the federal debt came to be since the millennials reached voting age, and it's not because they demand austerity and responsible stewardship of the nation's finances.
Found the zoomer.
Anyway, joking aside, my point isn't really changed anything by who raised the millennials. Hypocrisy is hypocrisy, and if as a group we aren't doing anything any better, if we're not acting any differently, then we aren't in traffic we are traffic and we are part of the problem. And we are a massive part of the problem. Governments elected by boomers have balanced budgets. No government elected by millennials has balanced budgets.

That's a good point. By the time the boomers reached adulthood, the system was already collapsing. It definitely had some really good times, but boomers were born after 1948 by definition, so they were only 20 by 1968, and while there was a short period of prosperity after that, it wasn't all that long. There was a worldwide multi-year recession in 1973 and continuous massive economic issues from then onward, so there are a shocking number of parallels with what happened to the millennials.
