Everyone wants to blame the boomers but most of the big spending federal programs were voted in by the “greatest generation.” Millennials also seem to embrace more socialism so...

We will be stuck working until we die cleaning up the incredible mess of every thing the Boomers created

The economic mess began in 1913, with creation of the Federal Reserve and the federal income tax (16th amendment). These allowed continual and sustained growth of the federal government.

The economic mess accelerated with the 19th amendment (women's vote) in 1920, as women vote for security over liberty.

The economic mess culminated in the early 1960s with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, the Food Stamp Act of 1964, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, and the Social Security Amendments of 1965 which created Medicare and Medicaid. This is the so-called "Great Society" or welfare state by LBJ.

We have not even touched upon the moral mess, which (briefly) came about through the Frankfurt School at Columbia University and UC Berkeley in the 1950s (free sex, no moral absolutes), the FDA approval of the birth control pill in 1960, and the outlawing of prayer in schools in 1962 by the Supreme Court.

Finally, there is the Immigration Act of 1965 which allowed immigrants from 3rd world sh!tholes, giving foundation to identity politics and the fragmentation of the social/cultural/historical mores of the USA.

The Boomers participated in all this, but they certainly didn't vote for or create these disasters.
