The boomer elite want the privileges of a bureaucracy that favors them, but not the costs. They want the perks of free market capitalism, but only insofar that they can pork barrel the budget and get into irresponsible levels of debt without any accountability.
Other than point 6, which I don't blame them as much for, points 1-5 are solidly the fault of various boomers.
Privatize profits and socialize losses: the neoliberal ideal! Worse, the neo-Fascists prefer handing the profits to their allies and all the losses to 'we the people'. I'm not sure how this gewts worse.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
