Jim Bacon, author of "Boomergeddon," tells "American Morning" about the wave of thousands of boomers who will turn 65 starting Saturday - and the impact this 19-year "tsunami" will have on Americans.
"They haven't saved enough. They have too much debt. And they're all going to be relying on social security and Medicare that we know in 15 years is going to be in great jeopardy," he says.

just donate more money to private schools and sue them when they do not admit your victimized child... What a savings.

The pity of it is that people in the 65+ demographic vote in a higher proportion for the Republican Party, the one that is primarily responsible for the economic morass the USA finds itself in, and that has done the most to snip holes in the safety nets.
