Well, the baby boomers in the U.K "Never had it so good", to quote the then PM, Harold MacMillan, and it probably collarates with the US closely:
1). Education became free for all.
2) The advent of "free love" and subsequently continued their way towards modern sexual discrimination,
3). A booming housing market meant they could buy houses for next to nothing, then sat back and did nothing, and watched house-price inflation make the value of their nest-eggs soar.
4) Fucked up house prices
6). Learned barely little from the previous generation,arguably took us back a generation
7 Continually vote for unprogressive ideas
8. "Kept" their savings and then expected everyone else to look after them when their "old" - rather than bothering about how it might effect their kids mortgages

Unless you're a war hero or self made millionaire, you, as a baby boomer, should consider the total shit fucking mess you've really left for your kids and grandkids to pay for. YOU, yes, YOU, are to blame for a lot of the way things are..no matter how insignificant you feel in the grand scheme of things.

Just my 2 cents
