Not really for example look at the Presidents. The first Boomer President was Clinton. He, Bush 43 and Trump have been the only Boomer Presidents. The WWII ('Greatest Generation') era held onto power much longer. This was also true in business. When Social Security was initially set up the Actuarial tables showed that the average worker died just a few years after that magical age of 65. After WWII improvements in healthcare, safer working conditions, etc meant that that generation lived longer and stayed productive longer. Because of growing up during the Depression years they tended to be reluctant to retire or give up a job that they had feeling that if they did 'bad times would come' and they would be left with nothing. So they did not give up senior positions and there was stagnation in promotions for years. SO many of the concerns that are being laid on the 'Boomers' were set up by their parents who saw the bubble in the population coming and did nothing to mitigate it figuring they had 'saved the world' and were owed the benefits of it.
Don't look at the
Presidents who were Boomers, look at the
voters: first President the Baby Boomers would've been voting for upon coming-of-age?
Nixon. Then look at the voting patterns of voters for every Republican President since then: Reagan, G.W. Bush, W. Bush, Trump - all of which disproportionately got a
much larger share of the Boomer vote than any Democrat President, who mostly relied on votes from younger generations.
That is what I'm talking about with the Boomers being the source of our political problems: the Boomers have
consistently voted along a "fuck you, I got mine" pattern of electing Presidents with policies that
explicitly screw over younger generations while pandering to the Boomers (and even if said policies end up also hurting the
Boomers too, the Boomers often don't care or rationalize it away, because by this point they're motivated by
spite).
For decades they've held a privileged position in having the electoral power to control the course of the nation, but now with them dying off from old age and being replaced by younger people and immigrants, they've become terrified of losing that position, and are doing everything they can to
keep that power from being pried out of their cold, dead hands, and wrecking everything on the way out the moment they
do lose a little more of that power.
That's what I mean by the Boomers being the source of our problems: the world was handed to them like an oyster, they went and fucked it all up, and now they're trying to screw us over as one last "Fuck You" before they finally die. And now we have to clean up
their mess before they get us all killed.
