generational politics

25 January 2008

This is an interesting article about the patterns of generations and how they affect the leadership of our country. The "greatest" generation lead our country from 1961 to 1993. They were all young adults by WW2. The next generation (born 1928-1945, my Dad's generation) haven't had a single president. They were adults in the Korea and Vietnam era. Those darn Boomers are in their heyday now, which every single candidate (including Obama, just barely) is a member (except McCain). The predictions for how Generation X (my generation, 1964-1980) and Generation Y (1981-2000, the "Echo Boomers") will perform are very interesting.
