Essentially the bust generation between the Boomers and the echo generation that follows is the group in question. Demographically they're too insignifcant to really effect how policies get formed. If they end up putting in more pension rules it will be boomers doing it knowing that they need to do it for their kids because they spent all the money they inherited from their really rich parents and have nothing left for their kids.

The people that don't save enough money for retirement and will need to go on welfare down the road for financial help.
Doesn't really matter if there are 10 or 10,000 of them. They're still going to be a burden on society.
I certainly don't want another pension plan to cover those idiots, but we can't just ignore the fact that it might cost us down the road.
