No it seems that way because they enjoyed years of easy middle class living, with some of the highest median incomes and lowest costs of living in US history. Then, when it was their turn to pay it forward, they lowered their own taxes and deregulated everything. Now they're fucking everything up for the next generation, and telling them that their expectations are too high. Not that I'm bitter

Ok so someone explain to me how the baby boomers are to blame and not the same job profile thats been dragging us down for decades. They spent their entire life paying into the system. Expecting to get your benefits that you paid for isnt the same as feeling entitled to something. That broke fucker down the street that wont even look for work while using his government issued phone, medicare, food stamps, while collecting his 2 monthly payments is the one thats collecting entitlements.
Yeah so im gonna say our current generation is the larger problem when it comes to entitlements.

Hard working, yes, but also harder to manage. Providing developmental feedback is almost always terrible. The 90s kids are part of the"helicopter" generation of kids with parents that never told them they weren't good at things, pushing the "follow your dreams" mentality.
Some are better than others, but while ambition is strong upon first hiring, it screeches to a halt as soon as you tell them what they suck at. Pouting, defensiveness, crying, and often resignations often come shortly after.

They're a huge voting block and have played a deciding role in politics for decades.
As for benefits, these things work like a pyramid scheme. If the generation paying is significantly larger than the generation that's drawing from it, the burden on the payer is very low. The baby boomers huge population worked in their favor. Now that it's our time to pay for them, we have more people to support with fewer workers, so the burden is huge.
