The Boomers were children or teenagers in the 1960s and didn’t create the “Great Society.” That was actually the work of the “Greatest Generation.”
The Boomers were the ones who had to suffer from it, growing up in cities plagued by riots and crime, paying ever ascending taxes to support the welfare class, and seeing the good education they had received (even in the public schools) unavailable for their children.
You’ve glossed over “failed policies that nobody has reversed for decades”. The boomers have augmented and promoted these failed policies from their inception.
It makes them feel good to have nice thoughts, results be damned. The boomers have coasted on the affluence won by the greatest generation, they are presiding over the decline.
Boomers have been in power the last 24 years.
What have they done to fix things?
Exactly. I get tired of the boomers catching the blame for policies enacted when most were under the age of 20. Boomer were handed a crap sandwich, not matter how much you season it, it is still crap.
