We've accomplished nothing as a nation since putting a man on the moon,[/quote]

Nursing homes . . . well, because the boomers also brought scientific and technological advances that keep people alive longer.  The same advances have allowed people who previously died from many diseases and maladies to live.  Horrible, I know.

Daycare centers . . . maybe because their parents were working in urban centers and not on the farm anymore.  They were not at home to take care of the boomers' kids.  Also boomers could no longer survive on one income due to the development of the rest of the world and competition.  Maybe they should have tried to keep those other countries down by creating more wars?

Illegal Mexican immigrants . . . this really started back when Reagan was president and he was not a boomer.  He was the one who started the whole anti-union phenomenon.

Urban sprawl started right after WW2 when the parents of boomers decided to have lots of kids.  Boomers actually have had fewer children.  You really have to put this on the "Greatest Generation".  They loved interstate highways and cars.

Urban decay had more to do with desegregation than anything else.  The boomers were teenagers when that happened.  Again, "Greatest Generation".

Made in China cheap goods . . . Nixon.  Not a boomer.

Union busting . . . Reagan.

Loss of pensions . . . started with Reagan.

Broken homes . . . probably exacerbated by loss of unions and higher paying jobs.  Harder to maintain a household.  More stress.

Too big to fail industries . . . prisons and education?  Were those the "too big too fail industries" that sent us into the recession???  Huh???
