The website
Things Boomers Like has a great discussion of an article in The Economist called
Sponging Boomers.
The bone-dry weekly news magazine The Economist - mostly read by rich,
old guys or sickly patients in doctors' waiting rooms - is not the
first place you'd expect to find an article decrying the adverse
economic affects of baby-boomer sponging and rent-seeking.
But
in wielding its neo-liberal blowtorch without fear or favour, the
Economist has shown that it's not afraid to speak truth to Boomer power,
even when that's essentially its own readership.
