They weren't by and large the generation making policy decisions 35 years ago. Many of the people in charge today (Biden, Pelosi, McConnell) are older than Boomers.

The oldest ones are 78. They've been the largest voting block since the early to mid 80's.

Since then NAFTA was passed, Modern Monetary policy was embraced by the left and right, immigration was increased, universities were overly subsidized and then unsubsidized once they finished school, and most local zoning and occupational license requirements were implemented.

I know it's stupid to blame an entire generation but it's kind of hard not too especially with all the stupid takes you see them post on social media.
