    You can throw the inflation right back at them. Boomers were born into the Bretton Woods system, started borrowing from us in the 1970s, and then kept voting for lower taxes on the wealthy.

    Old people used to complain about inflation frequently because they experienced a stable dollar for decades… until the Nixon Shock.
