Yes, it was the so-called Greatest Generation (and their parents) who put into place the Great Society entitlements and the expansion of the federal government that has brought us to the brink of public bankruptcy. All Boomers were too young to vote when Medicare and Medicaid, were enacted.

VEry true.

Neither did the greatest gen get rid of the war time practice of taking the “taxes” owed straight out of their pay checks.

That one piece of change has made more and more people less aware of the increasingly out of control spending, because if they HAD to write a check each year, the madness would have stopped long ago.

I must have missed the part where every administration and Congress after 1965 was prevented from rolling back the Great Society programs they inherited but wanted to repeal. Did someone take away the vote?

Exactly.
Every one of the generations has warts, but I get so tired of “The Greatest Generation” crap. And I’m barely a boomer.
