L.A. Times Column: Deficit hawks' 'generational theft' argument is a sham

You can't keep increasing entitlement spending, or any spending, and not increase the money coming in.

I agree. So how do you "increase the money coming in"?
(snap!) I know!
You lower tax rates! It's always worked before.

I thought generational theft was when they steal from the next generational to pay for the programs today.

Sure! That works under a few conditions, but the primary one is start cutting spending! Which seems to be the issue, no on wants to cut spending.

If you run a business like that, you quickly go under.
