The actual and potential conflict between America's three prominent
generations the under 35 Generation X, the over 35 Baby Boomers,
and the over 65 Elderly seems more pronounced each year due to
financial burdens, social concerns, and political agendas. Xers are
perceived as being disaffected from society, apathetic, and
politically unsavvy. They live in an environment of
ultra-uncertainty and tremendous expectations. Were the Boomers the
last generation to make it, and will the demands of the elderly
deny the twenty-somethings their future? A powerful, yet quite
varied voting bloc, Baby Boomers have families now and they are in
a bind. Many can't afford to send the kids to college; they worry
about their retirement needs; and they wonder if they will bare the
burden of caring for their ageing parents. The size of the elderly
population is exploding and will further increase as Boomers age.
The elderly are politically active and tend to be more
conservative. Many elders feel they are being squeezed out of
society by generations who don't appreciate their contributions but
only see the costs of Social Security and medical care increasing
to enormous levels.
