Hrm nope. By the 80s it was very clear that birth rates weren't going to be enough to replenish the work force when Boomers retired, the can was kicked down the street.

Climate change I'll go along with, the pensions and health care costs I won't.

As you've said though there's no reason to think it would or could be any other way, doesn't mean I have to like it, and I sincerely hope that my own generation bequeath the one below us with a better legacy though I'm not entirely sure how we can given we'll both be paying pensions and health care for boomers along with more and more of our own costs.
