if the government did not pay "parenting payments" now about $1000 a year for school kids and all the technology us Baby boomers designed and made there would be a lot more in the coffers. Remember Steve Jobs was a baby boomer. What has your generation done to improve the world. I worked from 14 years to 60. Not one Dole payment. 2 dollars a month "child endowment" Whoopee. No holiday overseas until after 45 except a one year "Holiday" in south Vietnam. Saving so I could live a decent life after retirement. I paid for everything. Cars houses everything. No help from anyone, not even a help from the parents. Without Government assistance I can still have at least two holidays a year. NOT ALL BABY BOOMERS ARE on GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE.
Now the norm is a 4 bedroom house. 2 cars. and ALWAYS with the hand out blaming baby boomers. and a couple of holidays a year and not saving.
