Well, you're an American, right? So I blame you for foisting Trump on the world. Not to mention for the US's production of greenhouse gases.
Are you also white? Can I blame you for slavery then?

We baby boomers elected local. state and federal representatives that we thought were level headed, responsible people. They spent money they didn't have and we couldn't afford on things they thought we needed in order to retain their political power and get re-elected.
Yes, Social Security payment could be reduced to help pay the national debt. But if you push the numbers, at the current rates, Social Security would have to be completely eliminated for 22.5 years to pay off the national debt which is about $62,000 for every man, woman and child in the USA and growing phenomenally.
Why don't you just send a check for $60,000 to Uncle Sam?
Pompous attitudes always suck to be aroundI know the type and many of them come into the workplace with a pompous attitude. It's the combination of education and experience that produces the best people. The degree opens the doors that experience alone cannot.
IMO, blaming the Boomers is pretty much on par with blaming Illegal Immigrants. Just an easy scapegoat. This is a logistical problem, not a Moral Failing problem. The Baby Boomers did not choose to be born into an unusually large Bubble, but they were. The negative affects of this Bubble have been known for decades now so no one should be suddenly surprised that the effect of this Bubble has negative repercussions on the Economy.
Nutcase here agrees with you. Watch out.Sheesh. As if there aren't enough things people can be collectively blamed for already (race, class, urban/rural, gender, sexuality, disability status, nationality, preferred mode of transport...). Now 'generation' has to be added to the list. Truly, no-one is innocent!
Maybe you best concentrate on getting your own generation to vote the right way such that your grandkids don't hate you in turn, then? As you know how this works, you should make use of your forewarned condition.
Clearly the real problem with boomers is that they bred. In forty or so years or so you will all be assholes too for the same reason.
Exactly, with you being the archaic one of the simpletons being left behind.Are you sure about that? I think the human race over all is progressing towards something better then the archaic simpletons of the past (including the boomers). Its a slow process but if we can get passed the conservative brand of destroy everything before it destroys you we will have a great world of clean energy, a stable population, good living conditions all around the world and great healthcare.
The generation of boot straps and responsibility doesn't want to take responsibility for it's own voting habits, what a surprise. I always thought it was us millennials that didn't want to take responsibility for our actions.
It definitely wasn't fiscal irresponsibility and the generations slow shift and embrace of the hard right that had anything to do with the decline of the country. Nope. Definitely the illegals and the gays, especially those transgenders using whatever restroom they want.
(Full disclosure my dad is a boomer, and I don't hate him for it, but I have personally watched his ideological shift to the hard right over the last 15 or so years and it mirrors a lot of the voting habits of his generation)

LOL. Another crying thread about how the Boomers ruined the entire planet and lives of all that came after them. What a load of tripe. Spoiled brats.
What Boomers think of themselves I suppose?What does this sum up?
Now I have to know what evils Gen Xers are responsible for, surely they are not blameless.
Yes I'm guilty of eating some cookies and ice cream.Now I have to know what evils Gen Xers are responsible for, surely they are not blameless.

I see the age old rubric of "divide and conquer" is alive and well here. Personally, I blamethe negroes who don't know their place, wait, no!the Mexicans, errr, I meant to sayMuslim-Americans, or possiblythe gays, the transgendered, the commies, the obese, the old, the youngbecauseit's quick and satisfying to point to a convenient scapegoat that doens't includ methey are to blame!
Demographics in the wake of the most deadly conflict (WWll) in history now coming home to roost, making for some challenging economic times? Hey, I know, let'sbust teacher unions or at least repeal Obamacarecut SS benefits across the board for our present Seniors because THEY'RE to blame.
Hear the echo in your ugly anger? Let me spell it out for you while you raise your right hand high, "Throw the Jew down the well!"
Supports CAFOs and disregards the health consequences of poor eating habits, burdening the healthcare system. Guilty!Yes I'm guilty of eating some cookies and ice cream.
It depends.Maybe we should give free icecream to boomers. All they can eat. Probably cheaper to kill them off with sugar cream then pay for them to shit their pants.
