All of the social advances happened despite the Babyboomers, and largely because of the 'Greatest Generation.' The Babyboomers have engaged in a systematic reduction in taxes since the 1980's when they took over the economy, and therefore government's abilties to fund things like education. The babyboomers had free and lowcost education across most western countries, yet now most young people now graduating from university now leave with crippling levels of (student) debt. Our infrastructure is crumbling, our young are getting poorer and poorer education and we are told we can not afford these public services as tax receipts go down. The babyboomers have been at the wheel for the last 30 years, and they have left us a mess to clean up from their greed. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/10171591/10-Baby-Boomer-entitlements-todays-youth-wont-have.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/10171591/10-Bab... http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/10/who-destroyed-the-economy-the-case-against-the-baby-boomers/263291/ http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/10/who-dest... https://www.ced.org/blog/entry/are-we-about-to-let-all-of-the-baby-boomers-off-the-hook-please-no https://www.ced.org/blog/entry/are-we-about-to-let-all-of-th...
