This is smart. Seniors have done well under Trump and they vote. In certain states, they may be the edge that keeps a Republican in office. But looking long-term, young people really are getting screwed for the benefit of seniors. And I say this as an older person.

Yep

I would but the younger generations would vote overwhelmingly to cap SS and Medicare or cut it to near nothing for a chance at a better future

It’s probably inevitable

Correct. It's a problem throughout the West. But also in places like Japan.
