It wasn’t the baby boomers who put us on the train to hell. It was the so called greatest generation. They’re the ones who voted for the pie in the sky crook politicians that started the whole New Deal-Great Society-cradle to grave socialistic Ponzi scheme that is getting ready to crash. I was born in 1946 and had no opportunity to vote against Roosevelt or LBJ. furthermore, I plan to take care of myself ‘til I die, which is a lot more than the slack jawed and slack pantsed kids are likely to be able to do. It’s gonna’ be interesting if not much fun for a couple of decades.

I think you would be well served to actually go and look what Gen-Xers are doing for their retirement. Most are investing in 401K's, Buying IRAs, etc. Like me, we do not believe that SS is for us. It was for you. We have to figure our own way to save and most are.
Amen, brother! I am so tired of this boomer bashing. It’s all BS. Boomers working now are paying for all the greedy geezers currently getting the benefits. Boomers have paid more into Social Insecurity and Medicare than anyone, and they will receive nothing for it. Politicians are soon going to change the elgibility age for SS benefits to 106 and Medicare will consist of a bureaucrat standing on your air hose. These ponzi schemes should never have been started, and now they are collapsing under their own weight. To blame boomers for this is a load of dung.
Look at AARP if you want to see a real problem. Their motto ought to be, “Give us what we want now, and to hell with the future!”

I’m not sure the guys who were 17 and 18 in 1941 and grizzled veterans by 1945 did any voting in 1932 or 1936.
I think your focus on that point ought to be on the generation prior to the ‘greatest generation.’
