Please. There's the small matter of the SS trust, nearly $3T, built up over the last 30 years. Until just recently, SS has been a cash cow enabling tax cuts at the top.
Don't start up over deficits, either. Reagan/GHWB more than quadrupled the national debt, GWB doubled it again. If Americans have spent more than they should have, it's been at the insistence of their "Conservative" leadership. Deficits have served as cover for the massive shift of income to the tippy-top & the dearth of jobs from automation & offshoring. The public never would have bought trickledown w/o deficits, because the effects would have been too obvious.
Boomers have done what was asked of them, so it's reasonable that they ask to receive what was promised for their efforts. If that's really not possible, then we need to re-examine the leadership & ideology of the past in light of the realities of today, understand who benefited & who lost out, adjust accordingly.
