AARP panders to grabby boomers

"Many AARP products are aimed at baby boomers, who can be counted on to do the same thing for AARP's membership that they did for marijuana sales and real estate prices. There are more than 80 million of them, if you count immigrants of the same age. AARP acknowledges that aging boomers may render Medicare as we know it unsustainable. But it downplays the arithmetic and says 'the health care system as a whole'' is the problem, not Medicare. That's classic political temporizing, a rousing call to inaction. The reality is that boomers will stress the system far more than most in Washington want to see, and AARP is distributing the blindfolds." "AARP Is Not Good for US" Cincinnati Post
