Almost every complaint Gen-Xers and down have regarding Boomer economic advantages are tied to the excessive rise in real estate costs and college tuition--which are both areas in which the government has intervened and driven up the costs due to too-low interest rates and govt-backed student loans. Force the govt to stop meddling in those two areas and prices will level off to normal growth.

The American Dream is "dead" because of government spending and easy credit. But Millennials and Gen-Xers had advantages, too. No military draft, the digital revolution, stocks, and crypto.
