Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid

Boomers had zero to do with creating those programs, Governor Palin was one year old when America passed the last two (the oldest boomer was still a teen) and SS is from the 1930s.

Medicare Part D was a Boomer creation.

Boomers (I’m one) gave robust support to governments which have pillaged the economy and avoided facing the facts of Social Security for the last 25 years.

The “sins of the Boomers” wasn’t in creating those programs . . . it was in failing to have enough children to keep those programs solvent.

That may be true, but Boomers were instrumental in keeping these systems alive and growing them.

Article doesn't have to do with who created the programs. Article has to do with who has been in power these last few decades after definitive proof has been provided as to the programs' solvency and nothing has been done!
