I mean "sandwich generation" in the sense that our current senior generation are not willing to sacrifice squat. The generation behind us will only have our generation to attack in the years ahead. We will be blamed for every challenge this country has by the Millenial generation. They will expect us to pay for every sin committed by the generation that came before us. Severely cutting our Social Security is just the start. I would suggest that you strap yourselves in for a rocky ride.
