27. What a load of crapola.

First, your generalizations about the baby boom generation are crap. I know its not polite to say so, but if you want the members of the baby boom generation to die out, you have the power to contribute to that result in your own hands).

Second, the baby boom generation is generally thought to encompass those born between 1946 and 1964. During that time, there have been a dozen recessions, ranging in duration from 8 months to 18 months. Most of them have occurred after baby boomers entered the work force.

Third, as for the age at which people marry and have children, those ages were higher for baby boomers than the generations that preceded them and has continued to increase. Why? In considerable part because women were given opportunities in the workplace that were previously denied them. And what generation is responsible for giving women these greater opportunities? Right. The baby boom generation.

Fourth, the typical first time home owner in 1981 (when the oldest baby boomers were 35 and the youngest were 17, was 29. There was a decline in the age of first time home buyers from 1940 - 1960, when none of the baby boomers were yet of home buying age. It has steadily increased since then.

Finally, if you think being a baby boomer was all fun and games, you must have been asleep during the Vietnam War, which left tens of thousands of baby boomers dead, disabled, emotionally traumatized. Others fled the the US or went to jail. And hundreds of thousands worked tirelessly to end that war.
