"It's increasingly clear that Generation X, and possibly millennials, haven't learned from the boomers' mistakes. My son will rightly criticize me someday for my generation's love of SUVs. He’ll probably wonder why he has to pay higher taxes or work several more years just to get a retirement that's worse than my dad's or maybe even mine.
"Every generation wants to leave a better world for the ones to follow. I truly believe that boomers had no idea, for a long time, that the sum of their choices—of their quest to make life as good as it could be for themselves—might be a worse world for their children. But it's apparent now."
Jim Tankersley in The Washington Post calls on baby boomers to sacrifice for the future.
