Baby Boomers hit social security age. Uh-oh!

PJ O’Rourke, writing for the Weekly Standard,  on baby boomers reaching the social security milestone:
O rend thy garments, America! Heap ashes upon thy head. We, the generation of generations–triumphant in our multitudes, invincible, indomitable, insufferable–have come into our inheritance. Hereby we claim our birthright. Give us all your money.
.
The pittance that is a current Social Security payment was intended to maintain the doddering retirees of yore in their accustomed condition of thin gruel and single-car garages. Such chump change will hardly suffice for today’s vigorous sexagenarians intent on (among other things) vigorous sex, in places like Paris, St. Bart’s, and Phuket.
Hopefully they’ll remember what those omnipresent TV commercials constantly remind — if the erection lasts longer than four hours, call for help! Click here to read the whole thing. O’Rourke once again, while being humorous, makes the reader sad because the subject matter is so serious.
Beggaring government is the least of the damage that we baby boomers intend to inflict over the next 30 or 40 years. What we’re really up to is something more diabolical. Our generation is going to do what our generation has always done best. We’re going to shape the American social fabric to our will and make the entire nation conform to our ideals, judgments, and tastes. It will be like the Clinton administration but much, much worse.
