The Boomers are in decline and the next oldest generation is going to be overshadowed because he Millennials and Gen Z are both individually larger than Gen X. We're effectively skipping a generation in the power structure and that has serious complications for the existingg social structure. And oh by the way, they hate your generation with a fiery passion for all the damage you've done to the world, just as their teachers and heroes are telling them to.

To get back to SLF, I guess that 27 trillion is a number that won't collapse the economy, but 28 trillion is just too much, especially if it means 40 million people have more money in their pockets to put back into the economy.

You're saying that in 10 years it won't be the case that there are more seniors than there are now?  Is that what you are saying?  Because if so, that is demonstrably false.

The values of the Boomers are not the values of Gen X, and nearly the opposite of the Millennials. There will not be enough old Xers to retain the grip on power the way the Boomers have, they will be pushed out the way the Boomers were not. The idea that just because people get old means their values shift to the current ones is silly. The kids are going to have the power to bypass Gen X as the dominant generation and when they do then the old systems will come tumbling down.
