JB: "Reagan, on the other hand, gave them exactly what they wanted."
And that is the essence of the problem, according to Bruce Cannon Gibney, author or A Generation of Sociopaths:
Now most of us Boomers are in our sixties—and it’s become increasingly hard to dodge the accusation that, in our political lives, we’ve been waging a war of old against young. “So what if Social Security faces partial insolvency after 2034, or that climate change has scientists and generals fretting for the world circa 2040. By then, the median boomer will be dead,” writes venture capitalist (and Gen Xer) Bruce Cannon Gibney, whose take-no-prisoners book, A Generation of Sociopaths: How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America, was published a few weeks after Donald Trump’s inauguration.

This link is to Jimmy Carter's 1979 Speech:
"We are at a turning point in our history. There are two paths to choose. One is a path I've warned about tonight, the path that leads to fragmentation and self-interest. Down that road lies a mistaken idea of freedom, the right to grasp for ourselves some advantage over others. That path would be one of constant conflict between narrow interests ending in chaos and immobility. It is a certain route to failure."
