Baby Boomers are going to vote themselves social benefits until there is nothing left to spend. Then, they will exit the world and leave the next generations the bills.

Sorry but you are putting the blame for the social programs on the wrong shoulders.

It was the "Greatest Generation" and their parents who did all that.

The first Baby Boomer did not get to vote until 1966. The first presidential elections they voted in Richard Nixon.

All the big social benifits were voted in by that time.

The Boomers paid for it and paid for it and now are being told that as the last ones are coming up on retirement that the money is all gone.

Guess who got it?

For a debt to exist, a receivable must exist.

So we may be leaving the millennials $80 trillion in debt, but we are also leaving the millennials $80 trillion in receivables.

The bigger question is what kind of world are we leaving the millennials.

But I guess you're not asking the big question. You're asking the more immediate question about the debt and what it means.

I believe it can be resolved within a capitalist market economy.

I won’t be here to see it but I’d bet that Millenials do the same thing 40 years from now.

Someone makes a movie and we are supposed to accept the movie-maker's analysis of society as the truth?

The novel A Clockwork Orange was written by Anthony Burgess, a World War II veteran (born 1917)...not a boomer. I read the novel when I was in high school. I have never had any desire to see the movie and don't know how faithful it is to the novel.

well let’s just let the sky fall why don’t we

Here’s something to consider:
You know what’s amazing about the USA and boomers? In the last 60 years, Boomers have taken on the debt of WW2, SoK, Vietnam, rebuilding Europe and Asia, eating sand in the Middle East, walking on the Moon and developing a technological society the likes of which the world has never seen. How did we do it? We produced unique things. And people wanted those things. And we (boomers) still have enough wealth to spend like drunken sailors on our bucket list.

By the time we boomers die, some of us will have built wealth. That wealth goes to end of life care, things that make our not-so-mobile lives easier, bucket lists while we can still walk, a charity that benefits many people or animals, and our ungrateful children.

In America anything is possible. Invent something. Write something. Create something. Re-create yourself. It’s what Americans have done for 400 years. Why should that change now? Have you seen the wage bracket for robotic engineers? (I know, I keep pushing that.)

Beijing is lit up like a christmas tree 24/7 - like America, they’re producing for a world where 70% of the population is just beginning to afford a 60” flat screen tv. That’s a huge pool of spenders who are going to want more things. The smartest thing millies can do is not figure out how to ‘detach’ by living in a tent in the woods, cooking over a wood fire and eating squirrels ala middle ages. It is to realize the world is their oyster and to put away childhood fantasies and go get some instead of being negative about the future because mom and dad aren’t rich enough, or they grew up an only child or an orphan or without a dog, or life sucks, or some other nonsensical mental block to success.

Regardless of the past, the present and future problems are without end.

When I die, I won’t owe my two sons a penny. They get more than enough from me each month, and then some, to pay them back whatever I might have Inadvertently stole from them the past 50 years. And they can split my life insurance between them.

To: alternatives?

The boomers voted themselves tax cuts. TGG paid Roosevelt era marginal income tax rates above 50%.
