I despise the Baby Boomer gen . No offense ...nothing personal. Just despise the entire generation in general.

And we can thank your generation for Barack Hussein Obama.

Interesting, now the attacks and blame onto the Baby boomers, just like the Nazis blamed the Jews, and the Arabs blame the Jews, the Left blames the Baby Boomers. Fascism is subtle and creeps into the lives of easily manipulated people

I was part of the high-tech boom in SoCal in the early-to-mid-80’s, and am not afraid to admit it!

(Y’all wouldn’t have this confounded electronic thingamajig in front of you, if it were not for a baby-boomer!!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, DBD1 has left the building - quite a while ago, in fact. Sometimes one immediately recognizes they stepped into a pile of sh!t and retreats quietly.

I’ve got a UHC Obama approved plan for family of five

My daughters just turned too old

Used to be around 360 then up to 480

Now it’s 881 and completely due to Obamacare

What a stupid article.

17 trillion in debt ? Just when exactly did that spike occur ?

Here's a clue, it was less than 8 years ago.

Article is full of shite, and if you believe that, good luck. You're gonna need it.

If the last baby boomer born in 1964 lives 80 years that will give this generation 28 years to solve it’s biggest problem-the national debt. That would be our contribution to the WW2 generation. Are we up to it? I doubt it. That leaves no Social Security for the next generation.

I can only assume your parents or grandparents are boomers who likely worked hard to provide for your every wish as a member of a spoiled, entitled group. And their thanks is your contempt and wish for them to die? Bet they regret you too.

There are many baby boomer names on The Wall and a lot of them are my brother Marines. Some gave all and all gave some so that you could spout your nonsense.

Interesting.

Despised for what ?
What’s in this article ? (A love affair with Obamacare ?)
Where we are at is a culmination of what went before.

Why not break it down into which part(mostly RATs) of which generation(Greatest\Boomers) is responsible for what.
Anything that happened prior to me becoming 21 (1971) is my fault ?
(Think LBJ and the great society, for starters - LBJ and his ilk weren’t boomers)

Your problem is, the “next generation” of politicians is already in office.
What are you going to do about it ? Sit and complain about boomers ?

You can throw Beirut, Mogadishu, Grenada, and Desert Storm in their too.

One of the "younger" boomers.

In other words, the self-employed person’s FICA tax rate for the year 2015 consists of the Social Security tax of 12.4% (6.2% + 6.2%) of the first $118,500 of net income plus the Medicare tax of 2.9% (1.45% + 1.45%) of every dollar of net income.

Bill Gates Medicare premium would pay average public health budget of any of 90% of Americas counties

I read that somewhere

Nah. These kids are cowards, which is why they have no life skills. They are lazy because they are spineless cowards that are afraid of challenges. The kid retreated to his “safe place” and is busy sucking his thumb and wetting himself.

Get ready for the “I am a boomer but that doesn’t apply to ME” posts.

Any article defining generations from a sociologists point of few are lost on vast majority of folks around here.

My God,what used to be honest differences of opinion here has turned into DU, with all the name calling and language.

Come on people, we are better than that.

My observation is that a far too large a percentage of the folks just behind the boomers are less productive, less prosperous, pay too few taxes and drain the gov’t dole. Most of the boomers made it thru life without all the welfare and gov’t freebies.
