Define that "They" for me. Who are "They"?? Be VERY careful how you define it. I'm a boomer and I don't approve of this measure and didn't EVER want it!! And, all of my boomer friends, colleagues, co-workers and relatives feel the same way I do.
You probably have your generations confused since boomers are only JUST STARTING TO REACH RETIREMENT AGE!!!!! This wasn't for us, it was for your grandparents and great-grandparents!!!
"The problem is the baby boomers. The 78 million people born between 1946 and 1964 start becoming eligible for Social Security benefits next year. "They'll be eligible for Medicare just three years later and when those boomers start retiring en masse, then that will be a tsunami of spending that could swamp our ship of state if we don't get serious," says Walker."
Dude or Dudette you are preaching to the choir.
They = those reporting this crisis.
They = those who would like to say this is a crisis because the 'boomers' are retiring in masse.
They = those who would like to drag us into a category of those who caused this crisis in the first place when it was some plan of a very famous FDR elite Democrat with his "New Deal" where every worker would contribute to the great of the common good.
They = those who for decades depended on us boomers to work for those who increasingly took advantage of this government program and have been accepting payments for life. Not the ones it originally intended to help.
They DO NOT = ME.
How the hell else could I be paying into SS & Medicare for the last 35 years and NOT be a boomer. Do the math.
No worries.
