For the most part, and even though I’ve done some of it myself, I think this sort of bashing of the Baby Boomers is over the top.

However, one thing about that cohort is true: they grew up in the time of greatest prosperity the nation had ever seen, decided that it was good enough for them – and only them – and then pulled up the ladder behind them.

That is the inexcusable part, and it is generational as far as I can tell. The stats show this.

That ladder-pulling I can’t grasp, as it harms their very own children and grandchildren.

Saying, “I deserve my Medicare and Social Security but my daughter and son do not” is the worst kind of selfishness, but seems very common – in statement or in action – in that generation.
