Yet sensible tax reforms left less revenue for the generous benefits boomers have continued to vote themselves, such as a prescription-drug benefit paired with inadequate premiums.

Good grief! Boomers didn't vote in a prescription-drug benefit. Our dolt of a president and Congress did this to us.

This class warfare is no more flattering when well-meaning people on the right stoop to it.

Yes we need to address the issue of government handouts, and returning things to the private sector is the way to go. And studies on longevity reveal that it only takes about 20 years for senior programs to be completely swapped out.

That's what we should focus on.

Under the right replacement program, we could have a significant reduction on the cost of seniors on federal programs in ten years. Let's get on with it.

I don’t think those on the right espousing “warfare” are well meaning. They are trying to wage a divide, just like their Democratic counterparts.

...the generous benefits boomers have continued to vote themselves,...

This idea that baby boomers are into using Big Government to line their pockets at the expense of younger generations is contradicticted by just about all the presidential election polling breakdowns I've seen. It's the majority of the younger voters who are supporting the party foolishly advocating continuing Social Security and Medicare as they are, while the majority of the older voters support the party which realistically sees that that demographic trends will inevitably cause the government spigot to run dry unless significant structural change is made to these programs in the near future.
