That’s it. I feel so guilty that I’m sending my SocSec check back. NOT. Believe it or not, some baby boomers are conservatives. :>}
Again, what did conservative boomers do about this?
“Did that majority sock away money for future safety-net costs? No. Pols talked about putting budget surpluses in a âlockbox,â but not for long. Instead they cut their own taxes, they deficit-financed two wars, they approved a new Medicare prescription drug benefit that their generation will be the first to enjoy in full. Partly as a result of those policies, the federal budget deficit has averaged 4 percent of GDP in the Bush/Obama era, more than double the average rate of the 50 years before that. Boomers let federal debt, as a share of the economy, double from where it was in 1970.”
Cheered it on with loud applause
