Expansion of Medicare, especially under Bush, massive increases in government debt, total debasement of the currency thanks to Nixon, and Social Security eligibility staying at 65 while life expectancy for a 65 year old has risen from 79 in 1950 to 85 in 2016. All this while the corporations have bought up the government regulatory apparatus, so they can suck more and more from the government teat, which the boomers are no longer funding because they're retired.
For the majority, only by time spent voting for (or at least failing to overthrow) the crap politicians who are continuing this process. But the politicians themselves have been Boomers since the Clinton administration.
I hear this a lot but I'm unclear on what the specific grievances are.

Are boomers any more responsible for that than we are for the current situation? I don't exactly feel empowered to stop it.
