The personality of a generation is a direct result of the events and situations that shaped the people of that generation. It's not like the boomers all got together and said "hey, lets ruin the economy, the environment and leave our children and grandchildren a big mess to clean up." If there was a way for my generation (X) to be magically transported back in time so that we grew up in the same time and under the same conditions as the boomers, we would have done the exact same thing.
You can blame the lousy economy on a lot of things: big banks, plutocrats, George W Bush, Bill Clinton and hell, even Ronald Reagan. But you can't blame it on the boomers as if they had a choice in the matter.
