Young people are cared for in large groups via schools. They have no wealth or political power. Old people can be very expensive, can still vote, and most will have a economic power for this specific generation. In the past when you were a working couple with kids, you hoisted your kids into your grandparents to help raise and there was no opportunity cost. There’s no converse here. Good luck passing legislation to reduce care for the old while they’re the largest chunk of the population.
