No guilt here, boy.
Served my country, worked my butt off, STILL working although I could retire.
You darn right I’ll draw every penny of my SS and Medicare that I PAID FOR.
I smile when you remind me that receiving what I was FORCED AT GUNPOINT to pay for chaps the heinie of the whiners in the Me Generation.
No matter what you and your journalist pal think, it won’t change, either; to deny boomers near retirement age the benefits which they were promised — and to which they have contributed — would be political suicide. So get used to it!
Think of it as what you snot-noses earned for giving us Obama.
Older doesn’t always mean wiser. You sir, have deomstrated that.
And by gun point you paid your money into SS?
Why not actually change those entitlements, instead of expanding them? (Medicare D in ‘03 for example)
And again, do not forget boomers had their largest electoral participation in 2008.

And voted for Obama.
