(1) The elderly will stress that they were made promises by the federal government, both directly and indirectly, to have their needs met in retirement (medical care, cash payments, etc.).
(2) They will remind the younger generation that they have paid into Social Security for decades, and that they truly deserve the benefits that the system promised to provide, even though the bank may now be broke.
(3) The elderly will also remind their own children that they took care of them when they were young and aided them in their later years by paying for college and buying them big-ticket items (cars, homes, furnishings, etc.).

(5) Young people will stress that some older Americans have other pension plans and benefits and should not receive either Social Security or Medicare, even if they have paid into both for decades.
(6) Younger Americans will also point to their own needs, higher taxes, shrinking employee benefits, and other burdens they face.
