Politics and Money

[Elroy Jetson]

Unfortunately more and more of the Baby Boom generation are retiring and collecting entitlements - it's a shock!

Many of these retirees are what Republicans like Paul Ryan call double-dippers, collecting welfare benefits from both Medicare and Social Security. Studies have shown these lazy gumflappers usually continue to live on government welfare for the rest of their lives.

Many conservatives have recommended that sending the elderly to death camps is probably the only humane solution to this rapidly growing entitlement problem. Fox News has alerted us to the problem that the longevity of elderly Americans is causing an alarming decline in the Labor Participation Rate, as elderly nursing home residents now refuse to show up for work.
