The sad part is, the mandatory programs consume almost all of the federal budget. You could delete the entire discretionary budget and we'd still almost be in the red. If the boomers think that they'll be getting all the benefits they are promised, they are in for a big disappointment.
"Atlas Shrugged" anyone?

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
