I’m Gen X (born 1969) and have several relatives (cousins, etc.) who would be what you call Boomer IIs and this is right on the mark. We’ve talked for years now about how messed up the Boomer I’s are (though we never had such a term) and how they’ve ruined the country in many ways. Their dotage is not going to be a pleasant one, I don’t think.
Hopefully we will stay armed, jackass.
I’ve had this same argument with conservative boomers on this site. They call themselves conservatives, but any mentioning of lowering or making any changes to social security and they will go ballistic. They’ve paid into the system for 50 years, so they want theirs.
Well, we’re going to pay into the system 40 or 50 years and we’re not going to get a dang thing.
That makes them selfish and certainly NOT conservative. And I’m going to remind of them of that at every turn.
Matter of fact, it wouldn’t surprise me in 10 or 15 years from now Congress comes out and say, anyone born after 1965 or later, will receive no social security benefits. So plan accordingly.
