Most of the political/financial dysfunction and moral decay in this country that has been associated with the Baby Boomers can actually be attributed directly to the prior generation -- the so-called "Greatest Generation."
Most Baby Boomers weren't even eligible to vote until after Richard Nixon was elected in 1968.
Your post is amusing. The reason is that you are correct in passing the blame onto the generation prior to the boomers. But you are missing something: there is an entire generation born from 1924-1944 who did not (generally) participate in WWII. But they had to deal with the depression as very young children. This is called the Silent Generation.
They are the children of WWI vets. They were Korean War vets. They liked IKE and JFK. That is the group that was generally in charge of government and business from the mid sixties to the mid eighties. Their most well known people were MLK, Neil Armstrong, etc. many fought in Vietnam Nam. They are the ONLY generation in American History not to elect a President. That tells you how ineffective and weak they are.
These things go in four gen cycles. The Millenials are the start of another cycle. Those in the first cycle are the “heroes” who deal with economic hardship and major wars: the Revolution, The Civil War, WWII, etc. they are responsible for hardships and significant upheaval.
For everything there is a season.
