I honestly don't understand AARP.
I'm close to that age, and they have sent information and such, but I would never join.
What in hell do they care what the structure of Social security becomes as long as their member's present benefits are secured?
Seems as if they fear a decline in clout and lobbying power if they can not use such programs as leverage, and that is just wrong.
That's right -- AARP should be thinking about (and representing) those, too, who WANT to retire some day. They may not know it (yeah, right), but we (young and old alike) are all in this thing together. There must NEVER be a financial battle of the generations. We'd all get wiped out by it.
