I don’t blame the Boomers. Rather, I blame our irresponsible government who allowed the liabilities to become massively underfunded.

I also don’t begrudge Boomers taking their share of SS. However, it should be acknowledged that the Boomers’ kids (of which I’m one) will have a much lower standard of living as their FICA payments will have to increase dramatically to fund their parents SS payments. This whole situation is a real mess and speaks volumes to the incompetency of government.

Yep, I agree. If you offered the children of the Boomers double or triple the payments, I bet they would be the first ones in line to collect it.

How dare you speak like an adult? It is more fun and much easier to blame boomers who never participated in the Woodstock culture.

You know, those folks who worked hard, were responsible and conservative.

It is always foolish to blame a whole generation. It is smart to blame those who really are to blame.

There’s just not enough of us to keep the whole show running.

But at least the boomers will crush the system and then whine about how they were robbed of their ‘fair share’.

Hey boomers how about giving us kids a freaking chance rather then shutting us out?
