Nick Gillespie Talking Social Security, Medicare, Generational Warfare on C-SPAN at 9.15AM ET
I'll be on C-SPAN's Washington Journal this morning from 9.15 to 10AM ET, talking about the Reason cover story I co-wrote with Veronique de Rugy on "Generational Warfare." The story details how old-age entitlements Social Security and Medicare are not simply bankrupting the country but also robbing future generations of the ability to save and plan for their own retirements.

Hey Nick, while you are there can you please make an effort to get your generations right.
The Boomers did not create the retirement boondoggle nor are they currently responsible for perpetuating it. That was all the so called "greatest generation", The Boomers will soon be on the hot seat in that fight as they begin to retire but they have not gotten there yet.
That said the fight going forward will be between the Boomers and Gen X/Gen Y so we can't leave them out of the picture but lets put the blame where it belongs.
That actually makes a lot of sense dude.
