You can thank the baby boomers for the stunning strength of the US economy

• You can thank baby boomers for the strong US economy, according to market veteran Ed Yardeni.
• Boomers are by far the richest generation, and they're spending more money as they retire in droves.
• "Seniors are traveling more, dining out more, and visiting their health care providers more," Yardeni said. 

The US economy has baby boomers to thank for its strength and resilience even as some worry about a potential recession.
