7. Anyone who doesn't think this is a huge problem is fooling themselves.

America needs to solve this problem and solve it fast, lest you want the job market to be stagnant for many decades. Generation X is slowly creeping up there when it comes to retirement, and let me tell you something . . . anyone who thinks WE have near the multiple hundreds of thousands IT'S going to take for us to get out of the workforce . . . not even close, bub.

Like I said before, I think the pre-boomer generation were the last to have a comfortable retirement thanks to pensions. Between the multiple Wall Street shenanigans in the late 80s to 2008, the 401(k) Ruse screwed the Boomer's nest eggs eight ways until Sunday.
