No one mentioned that boomers are depending on their 401Ks, not Social Security/pensions like a generation ago. This tends to make them big fans of a strong economy.

Yes and Boomers, being the most self-centered, opportunistic and destructive generation** in US history***, are now running to the Party (GOP) that they feel will serve their needs best.

(**AS a generation, overall. There are lots of sensible Boomers out there. Especially those that are FReepers)

(***Note that their progeny, the "Millenials" or "Boomer Echo Generation", will probably beat them hands down in this area. Unless they have a life-altering experience that impacts them as a whole. Like having to survive a Depression and getting to know what hunger and poverty are like)
