So, lets think about this for a minute.

If the nation goes bankrupt that means it is unable to pay all its debts. It should however pay as much as it can. Whose debts do we want to get paid off first? Do we pay the pensions for Ma and Pop Johnson who worked their whole lives to help build their communities, or corporate board member Schlomo Goldstein who wants to buy another yacht?

Who are we helping if we just pre-emptively refuse to honor the Johnson's pensions?

why is this an either-or scenario? how about boomers don't get to bleed the nation dry just because they signed on to a ponzi scheme, and predatory banking should be outlawed.
