Boomsday -- Economic Pressure of Retiring Baby Boomers

Here is a link to the book review that Dan Sokil made reference to in class yesterday. It is Boomsday by Christopher Buckley, a satire about how American society "deals" with the economic pressures that occur when the baby boom generation becomes eligible for Social Security.
