ALF Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) According to the AARP, 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every single day, and this is expected to continue into the 2030s. https://www.fool.com/retirement/2017/07/29/9-baby-boomer-statistics-that-will-blow-you-away.aspx Jul 29, 2017 I would think this is the main reason for low unemployment , not a tax cut . That money should have gone to infrastructure , border security, refugee housing and uninsured health care. Edited July 6, 2019 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you excuse away the size of the labor force is an all time high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you excuse away the size of the labor force is an all time high? Because kids these days can't handle jobs like the Boomers. Employers need to hire more than one person to replace the retirees. 5 minutes ago, Foxx said: don't you know, they only started retiring on January 1st 20, 2017 at 12:01pm EST.

I'm happy with the tax cut and the impact it had on my business and personal financial plan. My personal financial plan starts with being willing to spot the Feds the fruits of my labor for what amounts to Jan, Feb and maybe March, but by April I'd like to keep more for myself. I've never understood why issues like infrastructure, border security, refugee housing and uninsured health care can't be addressed while taxes are reduced and hard-working Americans keep more of the money they earn. Too many sticky fingers as the money move through the system, I guess. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'm reading you correctly here. You work in the aftermath of disasters, delivering some semblance of justice to people, yet you included a sad emoji. Sounds like good and honorable work.

B-Man Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Government Dependency Plunges Under Trump — Why Aren’t We Celebrating? Issues & Insights, by The Editorial Board Original Article Friday’s jobs report showed that the economy created 224,000 new jobs, yet the unemployment rate edged up to 3.7%. Both are welcome news. The unemployment rate went up because 158,000 rejoined the labor market. These are people who previously didn’t have a job and weren’t looking for one. The labor market is tight enough that people who’d given up on work are getting lured back into the job market. And they’re finding work. As of June, there were 5.6 million more people with jobs than when President Trump took office — despite claims by prominent economists that the economy was already at full employment when he was sworn in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
