Have the baby boomers stole the family silver?

[Packerman]

I dont think they are. They are saying that generation have lived off the back of future generations by spending taxes that wont be collected for 20 years so sit as debt. They live in their homes worth 10x the average wage. They get several holidays a year. And soon they will want us to pay for their care.

Spent our taxes before we were born. Keeping all the money whilst we are alive. Spending all their inheritance on themselves. And expect our money to care for them in the final years of their lives. Thats stealing the family silver. Taken the previous generations money and the post generations money to live your lives.

Care is a weird one to criticise as it is inevitable we'll all need it.

I have a limited knowledge of pensions but I don't understand how people can complain that old people have had it bad. As when I get old I imagine there will be no such thing as a state pension for people in the private sector.

The pension system is by far the biggest liability to the UK's budget isn't it?.

So we've seen decades of overbloating the system, for them to realise it is no longer feasible. So they have forced private firms to create schemes where they match their employees contribution.

Punish the young, as per.
