I always dissent from that first picture. Boomers were statistically less inclined to support Reagan than other generations. They didn't make the decision to institute Reaganomics. The GIs and Silents did that, and the early and core Gen Xers were its most enthusiastic supporters as they grew up under it, and then kept it going.
Boomers are more culpable on that last point, however. Boomers as older folks have gotten more Republican and helped drive the Bush era and the Tea Party, thus driving up the deficit with more tax cuts.
