No. I'm doing fine. But millions of Americans are not, so yes, they are getting "killed" by Obama's economic efforts.

Do you have any facts to support your post?

What dismal unemployment record? Jobs are being created every month and the rate is going down. Economy is doing well enough that folks can retire early.

No, they don't. Only Obama lemmings think that.

Post some facts if you think the labor force is shrinking due to an aging population.

Your real problem is that the entering workforce are not making high salaries and are not paying high FICA which is a percentage of your salary.

Only 156K applied for SS/SSDI in March 2013.
And full retirement is 66 but still 65 for medicare.

Any facts to back that up or is that your opinion ?

496K dropped out of the workforce while only 156K applied for SS/SSDI.

Why would people who retire early apply for disability? I thought they got in their RVs and toured the country!

They do both of course. Nice disability checks and lots of leisure time allow for plenty of travel. Why else would they be retiring at some large numbers at very young ages?

Well one thing, you never hear of illegals having trouble finding jobs and not all illegals are committing felony document fraud by using stolen identities, so many millions of jobs are now under the table kinds of jobs with untaxed wages.

The labor force is growing at an incredible rate -- about 3 to 4 million a year increase.
