As a Boomer who NEVER voted for Reagan or either Bush and who is very concerned about how my husband and I are going to manage when he can no longer work, I agree 100%.

I don't appreciate being blamed for this mess, however obliquely, and that IS what it feels like when someone implies that my whole generation has brought our financial problems on ourselves by voting the wrong way.

No matter how one tries to sugarcoat it, that's victim blaming, and it's NOT okay.
