Does the Baby Boomer Generation deserve Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security?
June 23rd, 2010 -- Posted in Diabetes | 4 Comments »The Baby Boomer Generation has left America off in a worse position than when they inherited it (the only American generation to do this)?
The national debt is the largest in history.
The trade deficit is also the largest in history.
National spending only increases, and brings bigger burdens to the taxpayer.
American industry is virtually nonexistent.
The list of problems they’ve caused goes on forever…
All of these problems occurred when the incompetent Baby Boomers were allowed to run this country.
In essence, the Baby Boomer took American paradise and turned it into garbage.
Now they expect the younger generations to pay off their debts, take care of them when they get old and retire, and live through the hardships that they directly caused. I other words, the Baby Boomers enjoyed their lives at the expenses of their children, grand children, great grand children, etc.. and expect them to solve their problems.
Shouldn’t the Baby Boomer generation be a little courteous and sacrifice their social security/medicare/medicaid (thus reducing trillions of govt. spending dollars) for the future and well-being of America and its citizens?
And if they are still too greedy, should the newer generations that have to put up with the ignorant Baby Boomers’ decisions simply deny them their health-care when they get old.
Do these people even have the right to retire???
Yes, the govt is in part to blame, but most of the people behind the govt are Baby Boomers.
The big fallacy in the argument that the few baby boomers (as a % of baby boomer population) that do run the government hold the rest of the people (who happened to belong to the same generation) responsible for their actions. It’s a bit more complicated than that.
The system in USA of young taking care of the old has too many assumptions for it to work smoothly.
Old People live longer. Health care is more expensive. Inflation. # of people collecting paychecks as opposed to paying into the system. The system is not self-sustaining.
Furthermore, people before baby boomers got pensions from companies. Now the baby boomers will have hard time living even with Social security checks if 401k plans are absent.
I don’t expect any money i pay to social security to get back to me when i retire in 30-40 years.
I look at it, as additional taxes i have to pay with no benefit to me.
"

After WW2, USA economy was booming. but in the 70s it started to decline
Sick of the baby boom generation trashing Gen Y? So were we.
