Baby Boomers

Quote from daddyeaux:

boomers need to face the fact that they'll be asked to pick up the tab for their own healthcare and SS which will have to be means tested...

gen X and Y are not likely to pony up the cash needed to retain our socialist approach to old age

just pray that China, Japan and Asia keep lending us back the money that we're printing.............

Yes, I think that confict with he Boomers will lead to a big shift to the right politically in about 20 years.

Boomers are going to sit back and expect to be supported and their is no way we can afford to especially when a lot of these Boomers are going to be living into the 90's given the rapid medical advances in cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

I read an essay on the "Boomer Predicament" a while back. It basically concluded that we should all "stop worrying... the crisis won't come for 10 years".

Then what?

By the time the mainstream media tells you to worry, the need for worrying will be long past.
 
So how long until an ambitious power-seeking politician says we have a "boomer problem" that requires a "solution"? AARP Camps? :confused:

Oh, Boomer Camps. A garooovy idea!

Think a M.A.S.H. camp lakeside. 24/7 music blaring from speakers (Hendrix, Joplin, Doors, Zeppelin, Dylan, Carol King), movies every night (Easy Rider, The Graduate, Clockwork Orange, 2001, Z, The Blob),
morning classes in the twist, cha cha, the frog, tie dying and Transcendental Meditation.

And of course free drugs and free love, if you can still get it up.

All paid for by direct deposit of social security checks.

Far Out! Where do I sign up, man!
