Actually it was mostly the Greatest Generation who became socialists and grew govt by leaps and bounds, but your point is well taken.

Yes. I’ve pointed this out before; the first national election that boomers could vote in was 1968. Law and Order candidate Richard Nixon was elected that year. The real bad stuff, giving the Democrats the House in 1956 and the veto proof Senate majority in 1964 was the so-called greatest generation. Though the boomers later caused a lot of trouble the Democrats never regained as much power as they had before 1968.
