Resigning From the AARP

From Huffington Post:

The America Association of Retired People (AARP) has about 38 million members and is one of the biggest most influential lobbies in Washington. It has done many good things for older Americans, but in some important ways it is just plain wrong -- selfish and guilty of intergenerational injustice.

perhaps interesting for our readers - this article is by Ron Sider.

whitemice - Not so sure of the ratio

|2013-03-10 22:44:40

His $4 : $1 ration is a bit dubious. That doesn't recognize that education and child welfare is primarily (in the USA) a function of the states, whereas (to get advantages of massive scale) medicare and ss are functions of the federal government.

And the military has a very much younger population - all on the government dole. Not children, but certainly not seniors

I don't believe I actually disagree with him - but that number doesn't survive analysis.
