This is what somebody commented on one of my articles. It's such a dangerous dream. For one thing, not many of the Baby Boomers are anywhere near death; they are the last generation to eat more healthy food and have hugely benefitted from the advances in health care (cancer and heart disease treatments particularly). My mother is the generation above baby boomers and even with heart disease, a stroke, and macular degeneration, she is keeping on keeping on, requiring a lot of help and soon lots of bills as we will need to hire nursing care (if we can find it) or admit her to a home. It's going to be DECADES before Baby Boomers begin to die and leave any of their wealth---except, as you point out, there won't be anything for them to leave, and ponying up for their care is going to further crush their children.
