It seems to be okay to discriminate against the older worker. This is happening all over the country. Landing a new job is taking a lot longer for the older worker.
You bet. The back side of this thing is for a couple of decades now, older workers/middle class workers are being crushed. Dipping into savings, 401k’s, home equity to pay the bills.
When the bulk of the baby boomers begin retiring, many will not have the money to support themselves. Entitlement programs will soar.
If any candidate, republican or democrat tells you that they will not raise taxes...they are intentionally deceiving.
Over 70 trillion in promised, unfunded liabilities we as a nation face in medicare, social security, our nation will be bankrupt. Taxes will go up. Devaluation of the dollar WILL happen. Closing in on 20 trillion in debt, not to mention if interest rates rise and or we enter another global war...this gubbamint will have no choice.
Our leaders have gone down a path of no return. We cannot generate the GDP necessary to gain control over this monumental fiscal mismanagement. It's just a fact.
Without good paying manufacturing jobs hitting our shores, with millions of legal/illegal immigrants being shipped into our country and 93 million out of work Americans...the picture looks quite gloomy.
