Trust me I understand , I never disclose my religious beliefs in a professional setting . <| sep |> But mostly it is the baby boomers fault . Of course it is . For millennials , it ' s always the boomers ' fault . They enjoyed tons of social benefits including cheap education , good health insurance , etc . Then when it came their turn to pay for the next generation they dismantled every bit of it . This is nonsense . No one dismantled anything . The boomers ' parents mostly paid their college bills it ' s not like there were generous college aid programs in the 60 ' s that were later dismantled . A lot of boomers just didn ' t go to college because it was too expensive . There are lots of reasons why college has become much more expensive , but it ' s pretty hard to lay the blame for it on the baby boomers . No matter how much you want to . The same is true with health insurance the underlying problem is that healthcare itself has become far more expensive than it was in the 60 ' s . This isn ' t due to anything the boomers did or didn ' t do .
