Why did they stop at 50 ?
Because of the Depression perhaps.

No, the Silent Generation by far had it the worst.

That's because they witnessed the Great Depression. They had no inheritance.

Obama has done nothing to create real jobs. Many of his policies have discouraged companies from expanding.

But you can get subsidized Insurance, problem is you can't afford that either.

Really..they were getting married and knocking out babies like there was no tomorrow. They came of age between 1950 and 1964. They were born during the depression and there were a lot fewer of them competing for jobs. The "silent generation" forms a good part of the Republican base today.

Rampant ageism means that long-term unemployment affects the over-50 crowd MORE severely than those in their 30s and 40s.
