Lately I have been hearing many in the baby boom generation complaining about younger generations. It got be thinking about what benefit the baby boomer generation has brought to society and if it is a net positive or net negative:

The good:
1. Strong supporters/fighters for civil rights

The bad:
1. Drove divorce rates up, severely impacted the standard family structure
2. Brought about the greatest greed of any generation.
3. Politicians from their generation are largely responible for the mess of this country.
4. NAFTA and outsourcing have happended under their watch
5. Will drain social security but refuse to alter the terms to help future generations
6. Number of people imprisoned have gone through the roof during their generation.
7. General 'F you' I got mine mentality which has caused a massive divide of the classes - on their way to eliminating the middle class all together.
8. First generation that will leave their children with a lower standard of living than their own.

I may be missing a bunch of good and bad. My opinion is that, not on an individual level, but as a generation the baby boomers may go down as the worst generation in history.

What are your thoughts.
