Economists have a more euphemistic way of describing the situation; they call it a wealth transference. Whatever you call it, it’s happening in great numbers. It’s easy to extrapolate the prodigious birth rate into the now massive death rate into a now whopping Yippee.

The Baby Boomer Generation, 1946 t0 1964, is a source for research, trends, and discussion. It follows that the parents of the Boomers are approximately 70 to 90 years old. Nobody escapes death, and that means that the aging parents of Boomers are dying at a rapidly increasing rate daily.

So conservative money investments (savings accounts, C.D’s, real estate, bonds, mutual funds) are moving to the profligate Boomers who are saddled with terrible expense burdens. High mortgages, college tuition, medical bills, credit card debt, car lease payments, alimony and what not confront them. Then all of a sudden here comes the passing of the bucks. “Hey honey!…Let’s move to a better neighborhood; how about a new Lexus; new electronic marvels… must have them; dinner out every night; private school for the kids, why not!. A vacation in Tahiti? Call our travel agent.” I’m sure you get the point.

Money is moving and driving our economy and it’s all happening below the radar. Sure, the real estate market has taken a whack, but a million dollars still only buys a tight 1000 square feet condo in N.Y.C. and that exposes the truth. Meanwhile, we all keep wondering, where is all the money coming from to be able to afford all this spending?” Think Yippees!

Dad says, “Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family, so call me The President. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People. The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we will call him the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense.”

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parent’s room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny He gives up and goes back to bed .

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, “Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. “The father says, “Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.”

The little boy replies, “The President is screwing the Working Class, while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit”
