Funny, I was thinking about this recently, though not as articulately as this writer.

Things are going to get very bloody. Unfortunately, it’s not only the Baby Boomers (particularly those born before 1955) but their offspring who are growing up with a sense of entitlement.

IMHO, the Gen Xers seem more sane & humble, probably because they saw (or suffered) all the collateral damage around them.

Retirement is one thing, but the real shortfall in revenue is for health care. The bottom line, do not get sick when you are old, the $$ and the doctors are just not there to care for us boomers like we have cared for the elderly now.

We are bankrupt. The question is how we restructure.

From where I sit, the grey ceiling is very much in place. While I do see a few older Boomers getting pushed out, the best jobs are still held by Boomers. At least this is the case in white collar, old school high tech companies (not the new dot com types, I am referring to ones started prior to 1990).
