Laurence Kotlikoff gets it about how old people have fucked the younger generation by pushing costs to the next generation. he has written a book along with some guy named Scott Burns about the challenges this nation faces for survival keeping all these geriatrics alive. In his excellent book "the Clash of Generations" the great Mr Kotlikoff gives his ideas of reform to the social security costs draining the public wallets. The younger generation will have to pay far more in taxes to get half of the benefits that these old boomer fucks were lucky to receive and stay in their huge homes walking their four big dogs. Kotlikoff's chapter economic fallout lays blame on many groups for the unrealistic promises government tried to keep for retirement. No one utilized their brain to ask what will happen as trends show old people are living longer and it keeps money necessary to keep these old losers alive in their homes watching cable television all day.

The costs through society the difficulty of the younger generation being able to establish themselves is seen in the declining marriage rates for younger people as government has little to offer them wasting so much on old people. This has lead to a decrease in population and workers to feed these retirement folks. In fact, Kotlikoff shows how the young generation are denied jobs from these old fogies that want to keep up their expensive suburban lifestyle going and need to .com.

One only needs to go to a average Ace hardware store in the suburbs to see where the wealth is stubbornly staying as these stores are filled with only grayheads. The war on are youth is easily seen in the number of youths locked up these days in the growth industry of the private-prison complex. Kotlikoff and Burns get into their complicated purple plan solutions for health care costs and retirement towards the end but by then the reader is so pissed off at how government allowed this inequality and bias for old folks short of a confiscation solution is really going to be the answer for the millenniums.
