Reply #33: Boomers haven't gone into retirement in significant numbers yet

[Warpy]

Damned few of us can afford to retire at 62 and the eldest of us are 63. You're looking at Generation Suck, those people who were too old for the 60s and resented missing the party and thinking they're Boomers. They're not, not in politics, not in education, not in outlook.

They did, however, benefit from the New Deal a decade or so longer than we did, so they got to retire.
