Baby Boomers - Polischuk

I only mention this because 2011 marks the beginning of the baby boom generation's official entry into the retirement years. During the next 18 years, those who remain from the approximate 76 million people born during these years will retire (pension, 401k, and/or Social Security status allowing) and move into the golden years. Economists have long been aware of the surging burden this will put on entitlement programs (a.k.a., Social Security and Medicare), but our elected officials in Washington have done little, if anything, to address the issue with any purpose. Something will need to be done, and, pretty soon, taking action won't be able to be put off any longer.
