For the first time in its recent history, America faces the prospect of intergenerational conflict. The affluent baby boomers - self-indulgent, easy going, and the beneficiaries of the greatest welfare program in American history - are bankrupting the young, the Millennials. Young and old in America are poles apart and the breadth of today's chasm is unprecedented. By 2030, America's age pyramid - the relationship between the number of working Americans asked to support retirees - will take on a shape it's never been before. Is there a great Battle of the Ages looming on our horizon?
