Eh; kinda. They didn't necessarily squander the current wealth they had in-hand, so much as build and commit to liabilities, that make it heavily burdensome on the next generation. Social Security is the big one, since they retire with something like 40 years left to live, yet get full SS and more expensive medical and pharma now. Here's what the SS% of GDP has been doing. It crept from 4.5% of the GDP in the 1980s to as high as 6% of GDP, which actually is a lot. But not as dire as people act:
Which doesn't look so bad, until you stop and look how the next (and current) generation's wealth generation activity is fairly substantially being diminished and diverted to pay for that, which you can see in this graph. 
My own opinion is because we have a smaller and smaller portion of the population actually working and making wealth, so they have to pay for everyone else. And you can see how SS Disability grew, though not all of that is Baby boomer retiree's; as a substantial growth in the liability has occurred due to younger generations also all claiming disability coverage:  Though the oligarchy is taking their substantial cut now too, so that they can continue that trend of fairly substantial polarization of wealth that's occurred and was (likely still is) accelerating. 
It's not all bad, in many ways the average American is still wealthier than his historic counter-part. But that wealth is considerably less than it otherwise could be, when you consider the rate of wealth generation he is producing per unit hour today, compared to his predecessor. |

The problem did not start with the Baby Boomers and it won't end with them. It only became a pronounced problem under the Boomer generation because they are the first large, retiring populace that the programs under the New Deal and the Great Society initiated will have to now cough up for. As I understand it, the gen X and or Millenial generations will dwarf them. Then we'll see who will blame who for squandering this "fixed economic pie" you allude to, OP.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I was born about halfway through the baby boom generation. This country is much wealthier now than when I was growing up. So no, boomers did not squander the wealth of the nation. What a ridiculous idea! Now, did some individual boomers squander a great deal of wealth? Yes, every generation has some that do. Illusion of wealth on the national credit card. Our standard of living is higher, our GDP is greater, and so is our debt. I don't blame boomers as a generation, but the policies of our government and corporations under the guidance of the "greatest" generation and then the boomers and subsequent through today most definitely are at fault. |

You heard wrong.
Read Nomi Prins' All The Presidents' Bankers. It'll tell you how it was engineered for a long time. Bubba started free trade, which allowed the jobs to be offshored on the promise that we could successfully transition to a service economy. Corporations off shored themselves to avoid taxes. We used to make everything we needed. Not now. Bubba signed the legislation to repeal Glass-Stegall. CFTC's proposal to regulate derivatives was shot down during Bubba's reign in office. Banking practices with leveraged MBS and derivatives is what blew up the banks and required the bailout in 2008. |

We first need to agree on what constitutes a "Boomer".
Baby Boom Generation: anyone born from 1946 to 1964. Baby Bust aka Generation X: anyone born from 1965 to 1982. Millennials: Anyone born from 1983 to 2000. Keep in mind that most Boomers weren't able to vote until the 1970s, because the voting age was 21 back then. |

The Hard Timers fucked us by electing Wilson who swung the balance of WW1 and led to the rise of Hitler. Then the Greatest Generation fucked us by voting in FDR who aided and abetted his communist friends in the USSR which eventually subverted most of our educational institutions, which were able to successfully mindfucked the Boomers and most of the Millineals.
Had FDR not provided Lend Lease and other forms of aid to the USSR during WW2, the Nazis and the Soviets would have ground each other to a pulp and we could have waltzed right in and had established a free Europe and Russia, and the USSR along with their friends in DC would have never been able to subvert our country. Can't remember who said it, but we outlived the USSR in the Cold War. Unfortunately they hit one of our arteries before collapsing and now we're bleeding out as well. I'd say the US is in cataclysmic depression and full on socialism by 2024. Record Corporate Debt, Record Student loan debt, record govt debt, record deficits, record govt obligations. Our society is an interest rate hike away from failure. Let that sink in. |

Boomers talked a big game about every generation having it better than their parents and buying a university certification as part of it. Millennials got medieval Chinese social dynamics instead of the American dream. No big deal in the big picture - that's what most people get - but most people are told that's what they're getting. |

short answer: yes... Their parents, the Greatest Generation, fought WWII. They left for France and the Pacific at 17 and 18, fought overseas for years, came home, used the GI Bill to get an education or a trade, then worked their asses off to pay off the tiny house they built. The lived depression-era living, saving a little of each paycheck and accumulating a small nest egg. Their children, the Boomers, lived in an age of plenty. They grew up, often with new schools. They went to college in a time when tuition was cheap and you actually could pay your way with a part time and/or summer job. The started work in an era when the corporate pension existed: Work 20, 25 years, retire at 55 with 60% pension. Had inexpensive health insurance. They voted themselves great government handouts and ran up a zillion in national debt. They started the "But I Want it Now" lifestyle. They spend 110% of what they earned, have nothing set aside for retirement, and are relying on someone else to care for them. They had it all: Cheap college, cheap housing, great benefits. They stand to benefit from the greatest transfer of wealth in history, as their parent die and leave them the nest egg. The children of Boomers?: Lets see. they are inheriting an essential broke country. Education is now unaffordable. Those that go to college will have massive debt. When they start work, their real wages - accounting for inflation- are considerably lower than the Boomers. They will not have a pension, instead get a 401K. Those few that do have pensions are in "tier 5" or some altered plan that requires higher contributions, longer work span, for far less benefits. When they marry and have kids, family insurance plans are far more expensive. Oh, and since the Boomers still demand more than their fair share of the pie, this generation will pay higher taxes, which are funneled directly to the Boomers. Boomers lived in a gravy age, consuming the wealth of their parents, and they are now - as a generation - going to impoverish their children and grandchildren.... Surely there is someplace better for you. Right? |

What if greedy socialist unions never killed off the goose that laid the golden egg, or we had gotten sucked into pointless wars?

It was on the books before the first Boomer was even a drunken celebration grope after WWII ended. Medicare? Passed in 1965, before the Boomers were even eligible to vote. Medicaid? Passed as part of the same bill. Food stamps? Passed in 1964. The Immigration and Nationality Act, the main source of our current immigration nightmare? Passed in 1965. Even the Viet Nam War was a result of Greatest Generation senior officers trying to fight Nazis in Western Europe instead of guerillas in Southeast Asia. And a Greatest Generation CinC who tried to make the war cheap and easy so it wouldn't threaten his pet programs. Much of our current fiscal problems were baked into the cake long before the Boomers even thought about retirement. And it was the Greatest Generation who did the baking. |

Get back to work you twinks. I retired years ago, and when I hit SS age, there better be some SS $ left. If not, my beer and ammo budget may take a hit.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
We first need to agree on what constitutes a "Boomer". Baby Boom Generation: anyone born from 1946 to 1964. Baby Bust aka Generation X: anyone born from Millennials: Anyone born from 1983 to 2000. Keep in mind that most Boomers weren't able to vote until the 1970s, because the voting age was 21 back then. Period: 1961 – 1981 |
