re: Which generation is to blame for this country’s direction?

We will pay for the sin of slavery for hundreds of years more.

As a Boomer I saw what was coming when LBJ started using money to buy votes. We are at fault for not stopping him, he decimated the black family unit and created the vast welfare state we are now burdened with.

But, blaming the boomers for housing costs is nonsense. If you start adding up the cost today of the things that didn't exist in 1960, you can see why there is no money left for buying a home. I see people with thousands of dollars worth of tats and piercings, plus video games, smart phones, streaming services, Starbucks, the proliferation of fast food and eating out, gender bullshite, etc..

Until Covid woke the sleeping conservative giant and we saw what was going on in schools, we let the left wing run the them, now most Xer's have no concept of history and think they are socialists.

If people want to be honest about the direction of the country it starts with The Greatest Generation.

Start earlier than that. Unless you consider FDR to be part of The Greatest Generation. To me, FDR was part of the generation that preceded The Greatest Generation. The mentality that a big federal government was the solution to all problems largely started with FDR, at least in my opinion. Can't forget old LBJ's contribution to the shiteshow, either. LBJ fits into The Greatest Generation category, so you have a point.
The widespread outsourcing of American jobs in pursuit of greater profits has to be considered, too. Which Communist leader was it that said Capitalists would sell them the rope they would hang them with? He may have had a point.

The generation debate is perhaps the dumbest debate in the history of this country. Needlessly divisive and every angle is woefully ignorant.

There are pieces of shite of all generations.

But the answer is liberals.

This is the correct answer. And, thanks to leftists turning our education system into political indoctrination camps, the percentage of leftists grows with each passing generation. This is why each generation looks worse than the last. It’s because the cancer of leftist ideology advances with each generation.

you were born in that date range huh?

Boomers first and then Gen z as a close second.

Which generation is to blame for this country’s direction?
85% boomers
15% Gen Xers

When a millennial accepts zero responsibility for anything and blames all their problems on other people I think you've found your answer

So you want to blame a generation which endured the Carter era misery index which had 14% interest rates, soaring gas prices and serious unemployment because you expect to enjoy an artificially inflated minimum wage for unskilled services while you demand a new house with a 7% mortgage.
Whine somewhere else until Mommy comes down to the basement to check your diaper.
The problem is not really generational, but is actually caused by the uni-party policies which are undermining the value of our money.
Vote conservative and stop embracing the conflict theorist view of our world.
And EARN your own way.

Being satisfied with voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us here. Can't really pin that on a single generation.

The problem is everyone blaming government and expecting govt to fix it.

We are responsible for ourselves. We could fix almost every problem tomorrow if enough people decided to do it.

Exercise and eat better- obesity goes away
Don’t have kids outside of marriage, and try to make marriages work instead of divorcing at first sign of adversity
Get a job. Value your kids education and get involved with your local schools. Get involved with your community. Take pride in what you own and how your neighborhood looks. Live within your means.

If 90% of people in this nation started doing the above most of our issues would solve themselves
