Welcome Baby Boomers to the new retirement vision across the "54" states, that the progressives running the White House now have in mind for your "golden years". This along with Obamacare, a bankrupt Social Security by 2017, by some estimates, is the perfect solution for an already growing problem. Looks like you may be stuck with that old hippie roommate later in life after all.

Another obvious sign of the times of where this country is headed....

Not for me, I take great pleasure from not being nice to people just because I’m expected to!

I’m unsure of what’s being said here. Adult retirement communities have been around and thriving since I took note in the late 70’s.

I mean com’on. A $9000 retirement home in Detroit Michigan or a $42,000 Dual wide in a Florida 55+ community?

In the late 60’s and early 70’s the best place to meet free loving chicks your age was the VD clinic, now it’s the community center of a retirement community.

“By force of sheer volume, the (baby boomers) who in 1968 thought they would change the world by 2028 actually will,”

The oldest boomer was a 22 year old kid, and the youngest were 4 years old, were they really thinking such things in 1968, I don't think so.

How . . nice . . . ugh! Not my cup of tea. Husband and I are 66 and 69; live in a paid-for house on 16 acres out in the sticks in a red state. Still able to do a bit of organic gardening, cut and split our firewood, and keep as much work done as is necessary to survive. Cut and dried “collective” stuff is not for us; but to each his own.

If the Death Panels work as intended, the term of collective habitation will be short.

The scumbag socialists truly wish to steal our liberties. The #s must be crushed.

“Over the next three decades, one in five U.S. citizens will turn 65 or older, Carle said. They’ll control more than half of the discretionary income, influencing entertainment, travel, food, retail, technology and housing. “

If anyone thinks that the “new demographic” that re-elected Obama will sand for a bunch of old white people controlling the lions share of discretionary income, they are crazy.

Whites will be lucky if they are allowed to live if you believe the demographic extrapolations that the Democrats are peddling (and the GOP pundit class is trying to embrace). Whitey won’t be allowed to enjoy a comfy retirement, commune or no commune within a majority minority country.
