Coming from the generation in question (1945-1960), the article is an interesting read.

And, Brian, I agree with your comments that the boomers will suffer. They will not get a free ride.

From my perspective, what is interesting is the free-love/counter-culture movement of the 60s has evolved into the the enabler of the entitlement driven brat pack of today.

The current administration owes a debit to the power that placed them in position. That position is to subject the last vestige of "free-market" to a government controlled social justice system. Social justice is about to be achieved.

It is more the "Quite Generation", those that sit between the Greatest Generation and the Boomer Generation that were the drivers behind the social justice movement of the 60s (when the boomers were coming of age and impressionable followers) that set the stage for the calamity of today.

The greatest failing of the Boomers is they are and have been a silent majority. They have sat on the sidelines while vocal minorities have pushed an entitlement mindset.

Yes, they will suffer because of their inability to become involved. They sat on the sidelines and let others make decisions that would affect them.

Responsibility and ethics have been supplanted by entitlement.

So, the real question is: Who is going to pay the bill?

It has been interesting watching the kool-aid kid try to formulate an intelligent thought while protesting that they are being forced to pay higher tuition fees due to being subject to repression. After all, they expect an entitlement to a free education.

Who will pay the bill?

Not them. They are paying too much. Pass the cost along to the future.

In short, today is an interesting display of fantasy un-marred by reality.

People want but are unwilling to pay because they believe they are entitled.

The buck stops here... but, where is that "here"??
