Us aging Boomers will start with the SS and Medicare next year with 1.5 million new recipients and 1.2 million more every year. Our parents were pretty prolific during the post-war years... wink


I'm actually sorta looking forward to the stupid looks on Baby Boomer's faces when they finally realize they've squandered their retirements on a lifetime of voting for taxcuts and dikhead politicians just so they could buy H2's on credit and other cheap selfish greedy avarice.
