It only takes a fraction of the 76-79 million Baby Boomers to retire every month to make massive dent on the labor force. It's hilarious watching the shills use the "Obama math" line--BB retirements have been accelerating since the failed Bush Presidency.
More people enter the work force than retire. Not counting just the baby boomers retiring either, everyone. Get a clue.
do you really want the numbers????? can you handle them????........they dont help your agenda.....
number of people turning 65 on a DAILY BASIS....10,000
number of poeple turning 18 on a DAILY BASIS....13,000
I think it is embarrassing that you had to post those numbers. Grown people don't know there are more entering the workforce than retiring?? We have positive population growth in the US and they can't put two and two together???? The clueless and agenda driven will continue to blather on.
Too good to find any kind of work they can get, so they prefer to not work at all?
And where do they go? If they're able bodied they can't get gov assistance. If not retired they won't have social security and pension.
They all moving in together?
Social security disability is the new welfare after unemployment runs out. Thousands of people are putting in claims every month and are being accepted. Up to last year 5.4 million people (individuals and their families) have qualified for disability under the Obama administration.

Since the recession ended in June 2009, the number of new enrollees to Social Security's disability insurance program is twice the job growth figure. (See nearby chart.) In just the first four months of this year, 539,000 joined the disability rolls and more than 725,000 put in applications.
As a result, by April [2012] there were a total of 10.8 million people on disability, according to Social Security Administration data released this week. Even after accounting for all those who've left the program — about 700,000 drop out each year, mainly because they hit retirement age or died — that's up 53% from a decade ago.

What I find hypocritical is Republicans complaining about a weak jobs report and pointing at "Obama's failed policies" when they refused to pass Obama's jobs bill last year that economists said would add a million jobs.
Like I have said MANY times....I have a family member who works for SS...the family member is in the legal field and was specifically told not to deny as many claims for disability-I was told that the SS administration has denied maybe 2% when it used to be over 60%-
So please stop with the Bull****
