I think that the babyboomer generation was incredibly selfish, but much of the change in economics of the current generation have more to do with Economic theory than self indulgence, even though that is mostly true. The United States economic dominance post world war 2 dealt mostly with the productive capacity of the largest economies being in a shamble for a generation until the early 70s where we just banked the comparative economic advantage.

The economic advantage turned to an acute disadvantage as the 70-80 period saw us transcending from a productive industrial machine to a rust belt economy where those nations in shambles invested in newer technologies and began to beat us in price and productivity. The babyboom generation had not taken the reins of our economy in the 70s and 80s but were good little consumers who just pushed the financialization of our economy, but the greatest generation was still in charge in 1980 when terrible political and economic choices were made......but yes, the boomers share that responsibility.

No time to worry about you geezers.

We obviously weren't even a tad worried about you....

Why are people giving the baby boomer generation such a hard time?

the boomers were the HARDEST working group in our history. The most productive, most committed.

unfortunately for many boomers they bought into a lie. They were told that when they got old that Social security would allow them to manage. So a lot of them didn't plan. but a LOT did. More of them I bet planned than any other current generation. I haven't looked but I bet so.

so why all of a sudden all the hate for this generation?

I know why, because the current younger folks we have are a bunch of greedy assed spoiled rotten little children and they will kill off the old folks for a dollar. its comin folks....
