We do not have the resources to keep the promises that we made to the Baby Boomers,

I didn't make these promises, for the most part, the boomers are responsible for the policies of the last 40 years that have led to this economic disaster.

They are also largely responsible for the social culture that has destroyed family structure that is the last line of defense against a poverty stricken old age.

You can't vote yourself rich, and this is the proof.

“I didn’t make these promises, for the most part, the boomers are responsible for the policies of the last 40 years that have led to this economic disaster.”

I totally agree and have been saying this for a long time. The baby boomers are a huge voting block and one that the politicians have been too scared of to do what is right for the country. Everyone needs to pay for this. They are more responsible for the 18 year olds. I say great, change it for the young people, but it only seems fair to have senior citizens share in the sacrifice, even if it means no pay increases for a few years.

My wife and I are retired Boomers on SS and we are doing just fine. We use SS money for gambling and travel.

...for the most part, the boomers are responsible for the policies of the last 40 years that have led to this economic disaster.

The oldest of the Boomers barely became old enough to vote 40 years ago.

Much of this economic disaster can be attributed to the parents and grandparents of the Boomers.

I was born in 1950. Social Security had been in place more than a decade before. The Johnson social programs were voted in before I could cast a ballot anywhere. I voted for Nixon, and he is responsible for the abomination of the EPA--he was no conservative.

I was never a hippie. I loathed hippies. Don't believe the pop culture image that all boomers were at Woodstock. We weren't. Most of us worked, saved when we could (I would have to stop and think about how many times companies have cut back and laid me off). I've lived frugally all my adult life, honestly and morally.

Gender/class/race/generational/pick a dividing line 'warfare' is exactly what TPTB want.

While everyone is squabbling, they pull some more crap.

Consider that a strong minority of people likely did not 'go along' with the ones who won the elections, and quit blaming the entire generation--or any other group, for that matter.
