Are Boomers to blame for the current state of the country?

In debt, broke, etc. Trillions in interest payments. It's getting harder and harder to blame another generation, if not.

The democrat party is the party of boomers while MAGA is the youth

Its hard for me to be mad because I am in that 56% category under boomer but all not some. My father has been a magician with finance all his life and is the most disciplined person I've ever met in my life. Ive never seen anything like it.

That said, Im surprised by the 15 under millennials. That is really low.

This is a good point here. For a generation that hammers people over the head with the importance of taking responsibility, they love blaming everyone and every thing else for their kids being lefties. Anything and everything is to blame for that except their parenting.

I can forgive Boomers for doing what they want to with their own money. I cant forgive ushering in feminism, implementing modern monetary theory, bailing out themselves multiple times, shutting down an economy over a virus that was only killing them, shipping all manufacturing overseas...all while claiming they were the most responsible generation

I blame millennials, the most left-leaning generation of all time.

Gen X is the only reason Trump is in the White House at present.

Rush eluded to this many times. Hed talk about his friends that were the staunchest conservatives on the planet, but once their sweet darling daughter got home from being radicalized at college, they would shift their views left to keep the peace

just change the labeling at top of chart to employed young folks and retired old folks living on savings. Explains the difference and I did not even have a phd or federal grant to explain

I think alot of folks have just lost touch with reality. I had a conversation with an older family member the other day that said "if a man can keep his wife's spending in check, there's no reason he can't raise a family on $45,000/year in a nice home. 45 is a great salary!"

He was under the impression that the wife would be a sahm as well. I broke down the math of what that comes out to and how 45k for a family man is not a great income anymore and he sat there and argued with me and blamed entitlement mentality.

Weak men in my opinion are to blame. In the exact scenario you laid out, too many men have become peacekeepers instead of leaders. Problem with being a peacekeeper is that the least mentally and emotionally healthy person tends to be catered to, meaning none of that peace is real anyway. In the end when men are weak, no one wins.
