IE NOT the baby boomer generation, but rather their parents generation otherwise known as "The Greatest" generation. The BB generation will go down as one of the most useless generations in N. American history. Their offspring as the most disfunctional...

And before you talk about all the great movements in the 60s' - JFK, MLK and the driving force behind anything good that came out of those days were not because of the baby boomers.

Unfortunately it's going to take quite a few generations to pay back the lifestyle and rebuild the social institutions that the BB's squandered in persuit of a lifstyle they thought was owed to them.

And now they want to live forever That's going to cost us another few trillion...
Now THAT I completely 100% agree with.
