Thomas Friedman: Boomers Ready to Atone?

Thomas Friedman talks about the bailouts in terms of the impact on Xers and Millennials.

The general pattern among the three currently-dominant generations is that Boomers did what they wanted, Xers paid the price, and everyone turned it around so that Millennials didn't pay the same price. I realize, of course, that that's a gross generalization. You also have to consider that I'm an Xer so I see the relationships between the generations through my own Xer-skewed lense. But, with those disclaimers made, I'd say that the generalization sounds about right, and Friedman's column is at least anecdotal evidence that at least some Boomers may be starting to realize it.

Here's hoping.
