Pass It On 

Now that they’re leaving the workforce, Boomers are worried about the national debt they’re “passing to the next generation”. Good news: they won’t have to pay either.

Now that Baby Boomers are heading into retirement and thus won’t be paying taxes anymore, and their Millennial children are working age adults, they’re suddenly terribly concerned about the burden posed on the younger generations of the present and future due to the national debt they helped run up. But the Boomers are forgetting something: generation after generation of Americans has been “burdening the next generation” — but no one ever has to pay the thing off.
