No they wouldn’t. A balanced budget would be incredibly unpopular with everyone as you’d have to raise taxes and cut spending.

No, they wouldn't. They've moved on from that, as clearly evidenced by this administration.

I'd argue boomers are the main reason we're in this mess.

Boomers spent decades voting for politicians who promised low taxes, protected retirement benefits, and high government spending, then shifted the bill to younger generations.

Wouldn't that require cuts to boomer handout programs?
