The Baby Boomers did a lot more to develop the economy, infrastructure and the social safety net than any generation in history. Yes, they were intitially responsible for the national debt. But Harper made the debt worse 2 years ago than any government in history. Our current debt is no one's to blame but ours. Blaming any generation other than the present for our current debt is simply irresponsible.
