This EXACT same argument can be used against those who refuse to cut spending, restructure or remove entitlements, and other such things.
Entitlement spending did not create the debt accumulated over the last 30 years. That is where your comparison fails.
Asking seniors to now pay for the excessive military spending and tax cuts for the wealthy over the last 30 years, is like cutting teacher's compensation to make up for budget shortfalls brought about by the recession.
This kind of distinction between parties though will help the Democrats in 2012, so please carry on.
