Baby boomers propped up their capitalist economy with 20 trillion dollars in debt, that future generations will be forced to pay. But that's not stealing... I agree with your general assessment of previous generations compiling unfunded mandates and liabilities at the expense of future generations. And then they have the nerve to talk about how hard they worked and how lazy the current genersriins are. Each generation is smarter and more productive than the previous.

Since 1980 - what's happened to the debt, is Medicare funded, and how much has been stolen from SS?
