You said “ONE GENERATION was certainly screaming loudly when our last President was trying to give a CHOICE to younger Americans to get out SS”, I assumed you had something to back that up, I do know that 66% of the 18-29 year olds voted for Obama, so I don’t think that they were leading the charge to listen to the GOP on SS.
Yep and I posted it in my last post. The AARP. Unless you know something that I don't about what age you have to be to join. And by YOUNGER, I meant under 50.

Well, I think you may mean 66% of the 50% that actually voted. So, out of approx 41 million, Obama got about 14 million. But, many of those are more concerned with what they are going to have for lunch than how they are going to retire. What I would like to see is a percentage statistic on approval for privatized SS in the 30-50 age range.
A good review of the current SS options:

That is correct 66% of the 18-29 year old vote went to Obama.
AARP is a membership group that includes people of at least a half century’s worth of inclusion that choose to join, I don’t know how much the membership that joins for things like insurance rates knows or supports the political activities of AARP.
In 2005 (Bush year) some boomers would have been members of AARP since boomers ranged in age of 41 to 59, of course members in their 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s would not have been boomers.
If the republicans try to run on a platform of fixing SS in 2012, I’m sure that they will get more support from boomers, and boomers like Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh in that election, than from the average voter under age 32.
