Looks like changes coming down the pike for us boomers.

The really explosive issue is how much in social security and other services is being paid fraudulently to illegal aliens. Not to mention what they're doing to hospitals and schools.

It's the unspeakable issue.

Looks like changes coming down the pike for us boomers.

Got that right.
Neither Bush nor Kerry have a viable plan to survive this demographic steamroller.
Both of 'em have their heads stuck in the sand as if it doesn't exist.

Restoring Economic Health: Reduce Budget and Trade Deficits

Once again, the boomer generation screws the country.

Didn't Kerry annouce yesterday that when he becomes Pres. he would lower the age to receive Medicare ?

[bmwcyle]

It is all over but the finger pointing.

Maybe if the boomers hadn't been so selfish as to turn the pill, and abortion on demand there would be enough people working to support them.

Abortion and birth control chickens coming home to roost.

Just as boomers begin to face the dilemma of age discrimination in the workplace, we also now face the possibility of having to work longer to collect reduced benefits. What are we supposed to do when we can no longer work, or we can no longer find work, yet Social Security remains out of reach for us? Beg on street corners?

[oblomov]

How dare he hand Bush this issue on the eve of the convention...

[k2blader]

BUMP.

I'm hoping the President will promptly tackle SS reform upon his reelection.

Greenspan, as he has done previously, suggested that possible changes would be raising the retirement age to receive full Social Security benefits, which currently is gradually increasing from 65 to 67.

An accountant who is in good health can continue to work beyond age 70. But what about a construction worker?

Should the retirement age vary by occupation? Should healthy people have a later retirement age than unhealthy people?
