I think when our generation comes into power (Millennials), we'll just simply cut off the promises that the previous generation made to themselves.. After all, we had no part in the process - and since we get to make and repeal laws - we'll just change them so the debt has to be paid off by those that incurred it.
I hope the Baby-boomers like the idea of spending their golden greeting people at Walmart.
When the alternative is responsible people suffering, I have no qualms seeing irresponsible people suffer.
Yeah they/we were irresponsible. We raised an ungrateful generation of egocentric puppies by spoiling them with more than anyone else in history had. Now they're afraid they won't have as many toys as we gave them.
We obviously wasted our money and should have kept it. Millenials? Try Spoiled Ungrateful Brats.
It's entirely our fault that yours is the first generation that begrudges it's elders.
'Egocentric puppies' .. name-calling
"Now they're afraid they won't have as many toys as we gave them." -- First of all, if you give me something, you should not put it on my check. However, the government debt is on OUR (Millennials) check - and you (Baby-boomers) are the ones that mostly benefit. If you buy something, and say I can use it when I need it, why the hell should I be obligated to pay for it?! This is one of the first times in history where the future clearly looks dim to an entire generation.
"We obviously wasted our money and should have kept it." -- What money??? There's only debt.. that you will NOT be paying off. You SHOULD have kept your money instead of spending more of it than you had.

'It's entirely our fault that yours is the first generation that begrudges it's elders.' .. No, sometimes that is typical.. But, I see 'the Greatest Generation' is a generation of good people doing great things. Their working years - late 50's to early 70's - are known as the fastest humans have ever progressed technologically. Generation X is too small to stand up for themselves. Baby-boomers, on the other hand, are a generation of hippies and yuppies.. both of whom spend too much, save too little, and believe their kids owe them everything.
