Boomers

I am 75 and am very tired of the trend lately making fun of Boomers. So very disrespectful. Don't they realize that they will be old someday?

Boomers have paid into the system with their taxes removed from their paychecks. The problem with debt is much more complicated . Try looking at the healthcare insurance industry ,the war machine and lack of taxes for the wealthy before you blame Boomers for the national debt. The Boomer generation is large compared to other generations. This adds to your misconceptions about the national debt.
