Boomers and their parents took out wayyy more than they put in. Whenever it has been time to pass the cup around for other groups, they haven't been what I would call generous. Look at the funding difference between Medicare and Medicaid if you want a feel for it.
Given all of that, I'm not too excited about propping-up their pension shortfalls.
- Haydos585x2 8y agoI agree with you. I think it's a bit dangerous to start splitting boomers out though. All it's going to do is create division between young and old resulting in defunding for both groups.
