It seems to be politically taboo to suggest that promised pensions, even those being paid out now, should come down. And the retirement age also needs to go up to 70+, not in 2020 or 2025 but asap. Anyone in the public sector who's retired before 65 (and is still under 65) should be asked to return to work to recieve the full value of their pension.

Pension part is somewhat fine but if those boomers keep on working till they combust than the waiting line for young people to replace them gets even longer. We all can't in video game industry. One of the few places not dominated by those booming people. 

This makes absolutely no sense. Having a greater % of people alive being employed is always a better thing. There is not a finite number of jobs.
