But, I didn't realize it was the duty of the baby boomers to leave the economy better, so I'll start with that.

It's the duty of every generation to leave the world a better place for further generations. The boomers were handed the world on a silver platter and coasted by on the efforts of previous generations.
The boomers have an incredibly inflated sense of self value. They think history will remember them as the enlightened generation that perfected modern civilization, but i think they will be remembered as gluttonous hedonists more than anything. It's been well established that the generation following the boomers will be the first in our civilization that had it worse than their parents.
The boomers had every opportunity to make the world better for future generations, but squandered it on materialism and self indulgence.
