The oldest of the Boomers barely became old enough to vote 40 years ago.
Much of this economic disaster can be attributed to the parents and grandparents of the Boomers.
Well that must mean that Bob Dole et al started all of this in the 1970s.
That’s exactly right. I am a boomer, and it was the generation before mine or even two generations before mine that made this mess. While members of my generation were demonstrating and otherwise being annoying, I remember seeing sappy adults on television saying tripe like I look to the young people for answers. I remember thinking that they were the “grownups” and that it was their time to lead. There were many adult enablers who pushed a lot of foolishness on my generation. The boomers were not leaders. They merely followed their dysfunctional elders.
