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****
Liberals true colors show when you threaten to take away their freebies, and boy are those coors ugly!
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.
Because they only read the headlines which still tell them it's the baby boomers.
And the MSM still touts that boomers will receive more in SS than they paid in.
When will the MSM switch over to the truth..that the boomers are the first generation to have paid FICA all their working lives and will collect LESS than they paid in ?

All but one are retirees.
When Real Estate is moving you have to ask yourself why? You say 11 sold.. but what did they sell for? What was the net loss on these properties? Real Estate in our area is moving too... but the real estate is 20% less in value than it was just 4 years ago. We bought our "retirement home" four years ago after the bottom dropped out and we've still taken a loss on paper. Granted we don't plan on selling, but if we were.. financially we'd have to take a hit due to the fact that what is selling is still foreclosures and short sales. And those prices when used as comparisons on the appraisal drag down the price on all the property around it. Just because real estate is "moving" doesn't mean the market is improving... In order to say the real estate market is improving you need to include all the pertinent information not just the facts that support your position.
Gotta love how the right includes people retiring in the numbers "giving up looking"! You realize baby boomers are retiring in huge numbers right?
The ability of the moonbat mind to blatantly re-arrange facts and common sense to fit into their twisted understanding of the current situation around them is mind blowing, just minding blowing.. Moonbats remind me of the walking dead...

Don't believe the headlines and gibberish spewing from the mouths of politicians and MSM bloggers.
The data is out there but not in one nice comprehensive report.
More turn 18 then turn 66. You actually have more entering the workforce then leaving.
In March only 156K applied for SS/SDDI yet 496K "dropped out".
When presented with the numbers the story takes a different turn eh ?

It figures that you'd be dismissing this terrible economic news. so people retiring is why we only created 88k jobs? That comes out to only 1,800 jobs created per state. In some months, more people are going on Social Security Disability Insurance then are getting jobs.
The bottom is falling out of this economy, even many staunchly liberal, 0bama fans are admitting that the economic news over the past few months is like a punch in the gut. Is 0bama's plan working?
(CNSNews.com) - The number of American workers collecting federal disability payments climbed to yet another record of 8,853,614 in March, up from 8,840,427 in February, according to newly released data from the Social Security Administration.
That means there are more than 3 times as many Americans taking disability payments as there are people living in the city of Chicago, which according to the Census Bureau has a population of 2,707,120
The next few months are going to be rough on unemployment as the Republican sequester continues to destroy up to 1 million jobs. Imagine what it would be like if Republicans weren't constantly trying to make the economy worse and instead were actually working together with the President instead their usual obstructionism.

LOL..quietly those cuts are being restored
Hey..no jobs lost. Here's the FAA tower closures that aren't going to happen now..put off until June.
And none of those SS people involved in WH tours are being furloughed or layed off, not even the director who now has no work to do.
Ah yes, work with the President. Heck, even his own party won't work with him on his progressive budget proposals never mind get the Repubs to cave in.

All the data points directly to people giving up on Obamanomics. If there were jobs it's very clear that people will stay in the work force to maximize retirement benefits but they can't exactly do that if there are no jobs for them to hold on to or find and they certainly won't be letting go of their full time jobs to take part time jobs if they it will do nothing for their retirements.
