I could not be in more wholehearted agreement on promises made to not only Boomers (and I are one - and willing to make sacrifices but not until our federal government gets their economic head on straight) , but the Gen X folks and subsequent generations as well. You cannot give everything to everybody for sure. We need to keep the "safety nets" (not I'd like to haves) and then folks need to get back to common sense (something lacking in today's mentality) solutions like, "I need to work to get it myself". Sometimes, there are job losses (had a couple myself and they are a challenge - but nobody "owes it to me"), but hopefully economic "sanity" takes over and we get more jobs created.
