  1. One of my greatest amusements on here is to get a Gen Z'er to think. Occasionally I get it to happen. Millennials... they're hopeless. Some of what you credit Boomers for was actually Silent Generation. They went through the Depression and World War 2. Material gratification was important to them and I think it's pretty understandable considering they had almost 2 decades of doing without. The Boomers did have to deal with radical economic changes as the competitive landscape around the world changed. The economy reacts to that. Japan and now China were not a concern in the 1960's but as you can see now, they greatly effect the U.S. economy today.

  2. I should add not all Boomers were happy to spend. Many tried to control government spending but the part that supported the Democrats was just greater in numbers. As it is today. Democrats like to spend and Republicans have great difficulty in trying to reduce that spending.
