Since there is no real job solutions, this recession is going to be a lot longer than many people want to believe. The great depression lasted 17-years.

We will not see any real recovery until the politians actually make major cuts to defense spending, focus on investments in key industries of the future to create jobs.

The days of the middle class retiring at the age 65 could be over. People need to live on less, save for a rainy day, and possibly work for the remainder of their lives.

The next two decades will be hard for many (not to mention our nation). Retirement will be for the upper-middle class and the rich only–a sad, but true fact that many must come to grips with.

Bobby, you are ever so right about the worst is not yet here for our retirement plans. So many Boomers are now facing home foreclosures, defaults on credit cards, boomers taking early Social Security at a huge decrease and having no health care lends to another issue.

Baby Boomers are feeling age discrimination in the work force and in the aftermath many will suffer. This is going to have a huge ripple effect.

One of the saddest consequences of the freefall of the stockmarket, the ailing economy and Bernie Madoff is that people lost their retirement. Boomers are having to delay retirement and keep working. Millions of older Amercicans are looking for jobs out there in an already competitive job market made much more difficult by their age. Before this crisis is over, boomers will be feeling the pinch of this recession right in their retirement plans.
