An excuse for what?

The statistics back me up. Baby boomers fricked us financially and economically. It really isn't up for debate.

Boomer here. My son graduated from college and is now in Grad school with zero debt. I paid for everything, including his apartment. I don't make a ton, but I do okay. I started at the bottom and worked my way up. It took years (a lot) but I stuck it out. I do not have a pension, but I will retire no later than 62 and hopefully at 58.
For those complaining about no good jobs, try IT. There are tons of high paying jobs fresh out of college. Interns where I work make $25 per hour. I was listening to someone yesterday complaining they need 6 people and can't fill the slots.
For some reason not many Americans are graduating in computer science, so I am surrounded by Indians. They are gladly scooping up all these good jobs that no one else seems to want.

An excuse for lack of opportunity for an entire generation

It's all open for debate. You're intelligent enough to know that statistics are not always based on fact and they can be manipulated to support any position. I don't believe the Boomers fricked anyone. They acted in their own self interest, as every generation does when they are in control. We are all selfish bastards and no generation cares about the next except for their own offspring.

I want nothing but success from millenials because you'll be shaping the world for my kids.
