51% of millennials claim boomers make their lives worse. Only 13% of millennials say boomers make their lives better.

An interesting demographic-based survey conducted April 9-13, 2018 purports Baby Boomers Made Millennials Lives Worse.

Beset by big college loans, inheriting two wars, and facing an uncertain future of work, a majority of millennials say baby boomers have made things worse for them — and a lot of boomers agree, according to a new Axios/SurveyMonkeypoll.

If it persists, the generational divide could turn into political rivalry as the generations compete for limited tax dollars — millennials seeking government help as automation takes hold, and boomers insisting on promised levels of Social Security and Medicare.

This ties in nicely with the upcoming pension crisis and healthcare-related issues as well.
