Bashing boomer's is a great sport and lots of fun but the bottom line is that it wasn't boomer's that voted in the two jerks that have done more in modern history to ruin this country; LBJ and FDR.
And boomer's are pretty much the first "generation" to pay into SS their entire lives. Certainly a great majority of the "greatest" generation did not pay into SS their whole lives and certainly they didn't do the same for Medicare, et al.
So declaring one generation the greatest and another the greediest is pretty thin gruel when the facts are considered.
The "greatest" generation has a lot to answer for. No boomer was ever able to vote for the socialist utopia they've given us.
Boomer's sure aren't responsible for the mess that the greatest created. They're just responsible for paying for the majority of it, at least so far.
And it was actually the parents of the greatest generation who passed all the socialist measures in the thirties. The greatest generation members wouldn't have been old enough. So the passing of and acceptance of socialist measures has been an ongoing process through at least four generations.
But the spume and nasty language coming out of the mouths of all the boomer bashers suggests to me that these people have issues that as a non-medical and psychiatric specialist I am unable to handle. . If someone wants to talk about people who defend social security and don't want it to change, they should talk with my greatest generation parents (both in their eighties) who believe social security is God's gift to America. I would bet most greatest generation members think the same way.
