I was responding to Ribit when his post was deleted so I'm re-posting what my reply was going to be to his comment about there being less people in the workforce now than when Obama was elected...

Yes, in the past eight years a bunch of baby boomers have retired. Isn't America great...

The first year Baby Boomers turned 62 in 2008. My wife, who's one of those first year boomers retired in 2009. I'm a second year boomer and I retired earlier this year. So YES, you're correct, there are at least TWO less people in the workforce today than when Obama took office. Isn't American great...

BTW, in this month's AARP publication it stated that 10,000 Americans turn 65 each and every day. That's 300,000 per month. How many of these people do you think are choosing to retire each month, thus leaving the workforce? Isn't it great that they can retire, collect their Social Security, their pensions and start drawing cash out of their 401k's, all so that can enjoy what they've worked their whole life for, but first they have to leave the workforce. Isn't America great...
