"we are already seeing older folks working longer." They have to, to pay off the college loans their unemployed grandkids ran up.

<<<<<Steve- demographics isn't destiny>>>>> Yes it is. <<<<<See? Problem solved>>>>> You might think you can pull these old people out of their retirement and put them to work, but I think you couldn't be more wrong. For one thing, we don't have the jobs for them. For another as they get old and their body parts start to fail, I think it is insane to think we can push them to work just a little longer. Corporations aren't hiring these people now, so what do you want to do - put them all in government employment? The right won't let that happen and the left doesn't want it to so it's just not going to happen. I admire you for your lofty idealism, but this is a problem that we are just now at the very beginning of - it's going to get a lot worse!
