So they stay productive and that's bad....how?
"OLD POWER" --- YEAAAAHHH!!!
And one of the reasons while seemingly every other television commercial these days is for a drug product -- impotence, high cholesterol, heart disease, depression, you name it. .....and the last 30 seconds of these commericals is dedicated to listing all the (usually very nasty) possible side effects at lightning speed...
My local DVD rental place has a sign advertising senior rates ... so I asked about them. Senior begins at 85 years.
I was born in June '45. I just missed being a boomer. Maybe I am a pre boomer.
Nah, I'm just an old fart.
Boomers who retire may be going somewhere. According to this article, 650,000 boomers are predicted to leave Massachusetts when they retire:

It's either Boomers or ship em in from Mexico or India.....and furthermore....the older you are, the more conservative you USUALLY are....
Don't forget that the boomers have been the prime promoters of euthansia. And they want it for themselves. This was first announced by the Who, in the song "my generation", with the lyrics "I hope I die before I get old."
Maybe we need to call on doctor kevorkian to help the boomers fulfill their wish....eh?
This is, after all, the generation that helped deliver on the promise of civil rights for blacks and Hispanics and equal rights for women, that fought and helped end the war in Vietnam, and that helped drive a corrupt president from office.>>>
Wow! FIVE lies before you hit a period! This is the generation that watched the civil rights struggle on television, cared nothing at all about hispanics, butchered its own offspring (while wondering where the workers are to keep SS going), refused to preserve the people of Southeast Asia from genocide, and that hounded a just man from office and replaced him with a mushy wimp who almost surrendered to Soviet aggression.
I would disenfranchise every single Boomer in the country who didn't have combat experience in Nam or later.
Better the boomers who voted for REPUBLICANS and made our economy more DYNAMIC than the generation who came before them. However, the boomers better look out as us GenXers aint going to let them leach off of us.
Sheesh.
Shi'ite! I thought this was about nuclear submarines!
No, it began when DEMOCRATS back in 1988 accused Dan Quayle of dodging the draft.
The retirement years of Boomers isn't likely to be nearly as rosey as that,particularly the cash part.
The Reagan Generation are coming to power, at least politically.
"Thanks to lifestyle habits and medical advances, they probably will be the healthiest group of elderly in history. Thanks to extended employment spans, they will be the wealthiest. Thanks to their huge voting bloc, they will be the most powerful."
When the exodus of younger voters does happen, of the people who will be paying for these entitlements, I wonder where most will wind up going? I'm hoping Australia.
False. Rock's inventors were pre-baby boomers born in the 20s and 30s -- Chuck Berry (1926), Elvis Presley (1935), Buddy Holly (1935). Even the 2nd generation (mostly from the "British invasion") were pre-baby boomers born in the War years.
It is, rather, an insult (a well-deserved one) for the select personalities who set out to ruin this country in every aspect of their miserable lives.
