The Boomers generation did not start until 1945. You had to be 21 to vote back then. Boomers could not vote until 1966, not 1963.

Social Security, Unemployment “Insurance,” Head Start, The GI Bill, Food Stamps, farm subsidies, Medicare, and all manner of social programs began LONG before the first Boomers took their first breaths on Earth.

Ok you’re right, I forgot about the age 21 voting back then.

That makes Boomers even less responsible for putting in place SS and Medicare.

In any case, the author is WRONG about which generation did that.
