combjelly, RE: " and my generation suffered a lot more than the Boomers and the X'ers because of Volcker's policies, but they paved the way for recovery...I suspect that you are close to my age(48)"

Thought 48 was a boomer?

Gen Xers got socked with graduating into a recession started by the boomers boom. I'd say the current generation that's graduating has it the hardest though, wouldn't you? There are smart new grads working retail these days.

On a different note, here's my solution to SS and the deficit: just change the work force so the boomers can keep working forever. Most of them want to anyway, right? But most don't because the boomers developed the 24 hour work day. Change it to something normal and keep 'em working. They would be happy, and so would we because the deficit would be better.

Regards,
Amy J
