The economy isn't growing , because of retiree's.
You then add, the US is still better than the socialist Europe, which is true.
Lol. Liberals.
At least you managed to comprehend European socialism isn't working for a change.
The problem is our labor participation rate.
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/04/us-unemployment-rate-is-near-5-percent-but-a-more-realistic-rate-is-higher.html
The u6 unemployment rate is 9.5%.
Labor participation rate is 62.8%. Nearly 2 out of every 5 people aren't working. That's not all retiree's.
It's also from a liberal site, just for you.
Th press has pretty much hid the fact that a lot of people, have quit looking for work, and instead joined the disability, foodstamp parade instead. a far bigger drain on our economy, than retiree's.
