There's so much wrong with what you're advocating even if they reasons are good reasons.

I want boomers to retire. We all should. You know why you never got promoted as fast as you should have? Because boomers. You want to know why you or your family/friends aren't bank managers, branch managers, regional managers? Because you have some 60 year old keeping the seat warm.

There is a housing crisis. A lack of family homes. A huge part of that is that boomers keep hold of their homes, turn their extra rooms into offices, yoga studios, etc, after their kids move out and end up trying to raise kids in a 2 bedroom apartment. You know what gets a boomer to sell their home? Retiring and realizing they cannot have any fun with what money is left after paying their bills each month. They downsize. That frees up a home and reduces the demand, and that reduces the costs of homes.

To keep the elderly working is unnatural and actually upsets the progression people have in homes and in the workplace. It needs to stop. The only people that actually benefit from this system is the government and multinational business barons.

Accepting the premise that we can't afford to pay social security or medicare is just fucking stupid. We can. We can afford all the bullshit for the Ukraine. We can afford all the bullshit for nato. We can afford all the bullshit for pet projects on gay lesbian tapdancing studies... but we can't afford to pay out retirement to the elderly and we can't afford to care for the disabled? Bullshit. Meanwhile these motherfuckers vote to give themselves a raise every fucking midterms and every fucking primaries.

Austerity measures should start with out representatives. Why the fuck should each of the 400+ representatives in congress get 170k when they should be learning to survive on 70k so they can connect with their constituents and their struggles? Why don't they have to buy healthcare through the marketplace?

It's a false dichotomy. We have no need to burn retirement. They're selling us that like so they can re-appropriate the tax funds for other projects. You know who it'll fall on to take care of our destitute parents? Us. So it isn't even a victory you can sit there and smugly enjoy. Not while it falls on you to change the diapers of grammy and grampy.
