Something that everyone always leaves out. Prior to 1981 & Reagan's draconian anti-American, anti-New Deal policies, student loans, even for an exclusive Ivy League degree, had no collection enforcement. Student loans taken out before Reagan could simply be ignored. Nothing on your credit report no withholding tax refunds. Also, in 1981 they began cutting Social Security benefits to surviving children at 18 where previously they continued until 22 if the child was enrolled in college or trade school. Reagan leveraged white America's racism to convince them to turn the USA into a developing world model of haves and have nots. And the truly frustrating part is white America has eagerly continued to gleefully play along for nearly half a century and likely will again as soon as a Democratic administration starts us on a road to recovery and a promising future. If it's not already too late to vote.

We have yet to see a president younger than the boomers. They absolutely refuse to let go of any power.

They are selfish. My parents have MAYBE 1 million in cash and assets. They have already told my sister and I that when they pass they will liquidate their assets and give them all to charity. Why? Because they dont want to spoil us... I am a 45 year old man. Dont want to make anything easier. Nevermind my dad got like 300k from his parents in the early 90s. TF are we talking about here?!

They were the "ME" generation....The first generation to not care about raising or leaving anything better for their children. There is a reason Gen X were latch key kids and raised ourselves

Boomers will either lose their homes to reverse mortgages or nursing homes before they leave it to their kids too.

Interesting that they received benefits of democratic socialism but decided no one else needs to also have those benefits.

They are never going to help us. They are rather sociopathic and vote this way bc they know they will not be alive to suffer the consequences.

Pulled the ladders. Then sold them to the next generation for 4x the cost and made fun of them for struggling.

If you work in customer service you also know that boomers expect you to treat them like a toddler and do everything for them. It’s ridiculous.
