Medicare will be next. And Social Security will soon follow.

Keep your eyes open for a new narrative to emerge...how greedy baby boomers and their "entitlements" are threatening millennials by consuming all their tax money through their extravagant senior welfare programs. The young are already stressed, they can't afford education, housing, credit or access to decent jobs as it is, while their greedy elders own their homes and RVs, take Viking cruises and retire comfortably on their IRAs and 401Ks and on their corporate pensions. At least, that will be the picture they'll paint: one of struggling young workers and greedy senior citizens on their dole. The latter, of course, will soon be threatened by the banks investing their pension funds in their own get rich quick schemes, and the new generation of workers, temps, interns, part-timers and contract workers, will never have one of their own.

Right now, the enormous voting power of a rapidly aging population is all that's preventing this scenario from emerging; but as us old farts start dying off and as we get weaker and sicker the balance will start to shift. I bet there are already social engineers mapping out the propaganda campaign in exquisite detail...

Divide and Conquer, the oldest tactic in the book.
