You need to do your research properly...I'm not going to comment on Gen Y as you are all too young and think you know it all which is what you've shown in your post!

Age my friend. I'm one of the last of the BB's and I'll be 50 in a couple of weeks. The energy is not there any more. There are still things one can do though. I don't remember the last foreign car I owned for example.

To suggest one generation sucks, or they don't deserve what they paid for, just makes you sound like a idiot.
The Baby Boomer generation has been the proverbial pig in a python working its way through the decades as presented below. By 1985, Boomers had entered the work force in full force with the entire generation between the ages of 25 and 42. It will be a great day when the python craps this pig of a generation out the other end.
It is not a coincidence the National Debt growth has far outstripped GDP growth since 1980. Boomers had been spoiled their whole lives and felt they deserved the goodies today while passing the bill to future generations. They voted for politicians who promised them more benefits, more programs, more subsidies, more tax breaks, more military adventures, and more pleasure. And this was “paid for” with more debt. Thirty five years of government debt declining as a percentage of GDP was reversed over the next thirty years starting in 1980, pushing it past the 90% tipping point in the last year. The country is over-indebted to the tune of $9 trillion on a current basis and $100 trillion on a long term accrual basis.There is no better picture of Boomer decadence and myopia than an historical view of the national savings rate. The parents of the Boomers understood the meaning of sacrifice and investing in the future of the country.

Might I respectfully suggest that your comments might come across a teensy bit aggressive,
and not do anything to further the baby boomer cause ?

Back when X and Y were being raised the government decided parents couldnt spank their kids, it made a great impact on X and Y generation because know we face the give me its mine and I want it all for the most money without earning it generation who have zero understanding to the past-present and furutre impacts on their unempathetic lazy ass lifes.

The main point I was trying to make is each generation has its own challenges blaming or belittling another does not solve present day issues.

Well isnt that nice.
You are right. You are missing something. The point is that if you do not protest the government in one way or another then you are dumb. Most baby boomers still believe in duopoly traditional party government. But like I said,I do think they are the dumbest. And most selfish. Its not like Im the only one either.

That bit stands out to me. The baby boomers have sold us all out. They even sold themselves out at the back end. There are alot of us idiots that place blame for the state of the world on the baby boomer.
