AARP was not only wrong lately but on this issue as well.

Notch Babies - Can Congress Help?

You probably know about the fears of Baby Boomers that Social Security will be flat out of money by the time they retire. A problem so potentially devastating to the economy that President Clinton made ensuring the long-term solvency of Social Security one of the top priorities of his administration.

Far less familiar to most Americans, are a smaller group of people who are now and have been suffering the short comings of changes to the Social Security system for the last 23 years. These are the Notch Babies -- persons drawing Social Security born after 1917 but before 1922. The Notch Babies' problem is that since 1977, they have been drawing significantly less in Social Security benefits than persons born either before or after them

1. AARP is now just an insurance company and they will support repugs

in order to make their directors rich. The poor elderly who get sucked in will generally not benefit.

2. The real question is...

...WILL Congress help?

26 years.

3. Thanks for this! I was trying to tell my Dad about this

the summer before last when I was visiting him in Florida and although he was born in 1917 he didn't know what I was talking about.
So, I'm saving this and going to ask him again about it. :-)
