There are advantages and disadvantages to the passing of any generation. Certainly for my Gen X cohort, the burden of Boomer healthcare and end-of-life care is pretty daunting, and I find them politically selfish when it comes to easing the impact of this and providing for those who are coming behind them.
The Boomers did a lot for this country in their heyday, though. I don't WANT them to die out of any special resentment.

The country needs a conversation about death and the end of life cost. I can see in the future where assisted suicide will be a hot campaign issue and one day be legal in all 50 states. I have visited nursing homes on many occasions and it looks to me that most people there are miserable. If the people had a chance I would bet 50% of them would choose to die with dignity.
It will be a much better place when 1 boomer ( Obama) leaves office or is impeached.
This thread has nothing to do with Obama.
I don't know what the outcome of the boomers disappearing will be, anyway.
