The boomer playbook has always been voting themselves benefits to be paid for by their children and grandchildren. This seems to be universal: liberal, moderate, or conservative. See the national debt.

And I say this as a boomer myself.

The Boomers were in their prime working years when the Silents under Reagan did the US’s biggest tax burden shift onto them, and cut their expected benefits along with it.

What are you referring to, specifically?
