Yep, 25, and they’d been agitating for a good part of it. And as I said, they’ve augmented those policies and presided over them since, failing to recognize their failure. Maybe you are one of the enablers of this failure, you seem a bit too dense to recognize your own inability to comprehend right here on this thread for example. Ask me again.
Ah, the all inclusive "they" again. Like I said in my first response, moronic, stereotypical tripe (I added "moronic" for your benefit).
If by coasted on the affluence won by the greatest generation you mean got drafted, served my country honorably and after my discharge from the Army came home and got up every morning for over 40 years to go to the same job while my wife and I raised 3 kids .... then, yeah, I coasted.
I don't have any more time to waste on whiney assclowns like you who think that boomers are responsible for all of the shortcomings in their own miserable lives.
Granted, every generation has its share of idiots, mine included. If the best you've got is to bitch and moan about how "we" screwed you ... count yourself in the idiot class of whatever your generation is.
