Funny. But the "baby boomers" aren't the problem. Didn't the spend the last 40 years paying into SS? Where's their money? It's a friggen sham.

No silly, you paid for Family planning clinics, endowments for art (or porn--6 in one hand....), a whole butt load of buildings and bridges with Robert Byrd's name on them, and my personal favorite, $450 Million on two bridges in Alaska that goes to an Island populated by 50 people.

My generation has to pay for your social security...except that...there are more baby boomers than there are of us. So somebody is ganna get screwed and I'm guessing it's not ganna be the baby boomers since they hold office.

FWIW, I’m 52 and don’t ever plan to retire. I love working, and my jobs. Another ten years firefighting and running my photography business, then slide out of firefighting and do photography full time. Life’s to good to retire.

The number of baby boomers shouldn't matter. Don't you see? They've paid money in for more than 40 years. That means that the problem is the SS system itself. By the way, I'm not a baby boomer. I'm one of you.
