      The generation before you were relatively small in numbers by the time they came to cash in. The generation following you isn't so lucky.

        Then you'll just have to work harder and make more money.
        We Boomers do have a certain lifestyle to maintain, you know.
        And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?". t s eliot

          I'll just inherit my parents' moolah, so I don't care what you other folks get up to.

            Based on some back of the envelope calculations (assume 42 million American baby boomers, grant them each a 3x3 piece of ice floe), we need to find a 378 million square foot ice sheet to break off and deposit Baby Boomers onto. Time to inspect Greenland on Google Earth now...

              God, if only we had decided to do this in 2005. Canada had a perfect ice floe candidate...

                Global Warming is obviously just the boomers' attempt to pre-empt you on this one Drake

                  The Wilkins Ice Shelf seems to be our best bet.



                  Will be more expensive to ship the Boomers to the Antarctic, though. Even now, at the end, the Boomers prove to be an unnecessarily expensive drag on society...

                    You may have paid for a previous generation...but you guys are going to pull far more out of the system than you put in, under current benefit guidelines.

                    And if you'd wanted a viable social security ponzi scheme you should have had more children.

                      Unfortunately this isn't really true. We're close to normal levels of trailing 10 year earnings vs price.

                      I am so ****ing pissed I didn't have any money. I actually called my bank in early to mid march (right before the bottom) but the most they'd offer me was 15k (at 9.5%, *******s....with perfect credit)

                      If I'd owned a house I would have ****ing mortgaged it to the hilt (assuming I could have gotten financing).

                        I wonder at what point my fellow late GenXers will realize that we really wouldn't miss our parents that much....I promise it'll only hurt for a minute.
