One-off college debt forgiveness is probably a decent example for one cohort, maybe very generous home-buying tax perks for another *slightly* older set. You wouldn't care to mess with constitutional amendments because frankly it's in your best interests for the benefit to expire

This only applies if policies are incredibly stable and difficult to change. When I'm old the policies that affect me won't be the ones I vote for while young, they'll be decided by the next generation of young people.

This is fair but there's a difference between "policies will not be massively pro-young because young people know they will one day be old" and "policies will be massively pro-young but everybody gets to be young sometime"

If each younger generation *does* hand themselves something unsustainably expensive, each subsequent generation that winds up paying for it (in part) may feel increasingly pressed to do the same for themselves, even at the risk of perpetuating the cycle into full-on death spiral

I suspect that somewhat over-considering the elderly may be preferable, if it prevents any initial mass coffer grab post-realization that one's final years will be a simultaneous descent into physical, psychological & financial helplessness unless they grab what they can now
