Inflation has nothing to do with people moving back home.

Okay Mr. Precise, lack of career job opportunities, student loan payments, high rent, gradual inflation of utility prices, increasing gas prices, healthcare costs...........is that enough to float your boat?

Bit over kill. Really the important part is the job market. Hence the reason I said to lower the retirement age.

Funny how many of life's problems go away when you have a good-paying job.
Yeah that lower retirement age really worked for Greece huh:cuckoo:

Sure it did...if you're into protests and burning things down...
 
but will they pay it.....? i doubt it....

GE is the company that took the lightbulb business overseas.....because it's CHEAPER....

junior will be still looking for work....

Companies do not magically move out of the country over night. Plus, many companies can not move out of the country at all.

Relax.

companies move or go out of business all the time.....you should see them running out of callyfornia and illinois....

those that remain are those that hire all those low-paying "service" jobs.....that's the fastest growing job sector today.....

Why are you choosing not to think about this?

Raising the limit means the only employees that would become more expensive to an employer are those making over $110K a year. Those are not the kind of jobs that get sent overseas. Those are also the kinds of jobs with the most leeway in how they are paid and how much they are paid. Not to mention, this would only be an issue for large companies, as most mom and pop places do not have employees making north of $110K a year.
 
I don't believe that younger people do not have the motivation to work hard.
It has more to do with a 50's entrenched management style and work bureaucracy that most org.'s to this day cling to, especially Gov't ones on all levels of Gov't, along with many private corporations.
This has resulted in the 'chiefs' not knowing what the 'indians' do, and the emergence of over-paid middle management positions that blur the lines between the two; in order for middle-mgmt. to please upper level mgmt. (on which their promotions depend!). And more times then not, middle-level mgmt. does this to the detriment of the lineworkers, whom are the people that do the real work, and have the best ideas for effective change.
Does this sound like where you work? Chances are, it does. Results in one word: demoralizing, over the longer-run.
Worked this way for my whole career in Gov't since 1981, until I retired in 2008, in two different Gov't orgs., one a state one and another a city one.

Asked and answered. Companies can more than make up for this.

You do understand that most companies actually do reinvest their profits back into their businesses....????

Some do, yes. Right now, most aren't. They're sitting on cash because they're concerned about future demand for their goods and services. Raising their taxes actually puts them in the position of investing and lowering their tax burden, or not investing and paying more in taxes. And that is where we want businesses to be again.

you mean lowering the retirement age don't you...?

those in the $110K+ income range don't even count on social security....and why would they want to be forced to retire early from a great paying interesting job when they still feel young enough....people are living longer all the time you know...

You are either completely confused or not even reading my posts.

Which is it?

Actually, that statement is rather comical.

First, if you lower the retirement age, you don't know who will replace those aging workers. Right now, in technical fields, there are not enough Americans to fill the gaps and the job market is actually tight for experienced workers.

Next, what good-paying jobs ? GM, as part of it's restructuring lowered the wage of an entering craftsman below the starting wage of the same non-union guy in the south. Of course, they have protected the high tier experienced workers with bloated wages that are beyond reason. Yes, this is GM, the model that Chris keeps pissing his pants about in ecstacy. The one that is so profitable. So GM was bailed out to follow the same capatilist model that you guys hate so much.

But I digress.

If you want to ruin a business, start you own.

But please don't even pretend to know how you could affect the decions a corporation will make.

The arrogance of the left is sometimes beyond tragic.

.....

Fact is, due to the severe drop in the stock market caused by the Recession, many older workers are not retiring because they can't afford to. If you lower the retirement age, they can then draw full SS payments and many will be able to retire now and afford to be retired. Those jobs would then be filled by younger workers and everyone comes out ahead.

Fact is.....

Those older workers can't be replaced by younger ones in many instances.

Someone has to pay for that additional burden on the S.S. system. They will start sooner and they will suck on it longer.
