And he could have been in that category every year for the past 30 years now.
What is your point ?

It's obviously not the really old people bumping up this number because they were part of this number for quite some time.

Don't have a link, that was just an opinion post, but I am curious if any of you guys know who make up that 92 million people are because it seems like you guys are the ones complaining about them.

LOL..you are not concerned that nearly 33% of Americans able to work are not working and not even looking for work ?

I know you all think they are retired boomers or disabled vets but the height of the baby boom was 1957 and these folks won't turn 66 until 2023 so that means for the next 10 years the number not in the labor force will grow compared to those actually working.

Just think what that will do to Fed revenue…..

The BLS doesn't break it down.
You have 16-19 and then 20 and older. That's all they give you.
You'd know that if you went to the BLS site and actually read their report instead of relying on biased MSM stories.

Allowing people to keep money doesnt cause recessions.. I've never heard such stupid economic theories in all my life..

The Americans who are too lazy to work which is why the liberals want to encourage millions of illegals to come. Notice you never hear of a Mexican or Central American out of work. Too many Americans have lost all kind of work ethic. That's why in spite of absurd numbers collecting unemployment, Obama says we need to legalize every one who is here illegally -- employers are begging for workers.

Based on your recent posts, I'm assuming you are now admitting that you said about about people 92 years old not be included was wrong.
