No, it is only about 90 million of us. The baby boomers are all either
retired or planning to be retired soon. The generation older than them
is retired. A simple fact is old people are a whole lot more
politically active than the rest of society. They may not be blogging
and putting bumper stickers n their cars but they do actually show up
at the polls. That is why the law is the way it is.
BTW I am not really a right winger. I may be to the left of you on
some issues.
I don't know where you're getting your numbers, but most baby boomers will
be working for 10+ years, even longer now probably due to the recession
and
diminution of their savings. Most baby boomers didn't save much, besides.
I don't know anyone in their 60s among my friends who is still working
but maybe we were just smart enough not to **** away every dime we
made. I retired in 1996 at 49 and ran a small business for a few years
but I am totally retired right now. All of my friends went straight
into retirement.
Good for you, but BBs are typically considered born between early 40s
through early 60s.
