David Brooks finds something else to blame medicare for

The Missing Fifth - NYTimes.com:
"So Americans should be especially alert to signs that the country is becoming less vital and industrious. One of those signs comes to us from the labor market. As my colleague David Leonhardt pointed out recently, in 1954, about 96 percent of American men between the ages of 25 and 54 worked. Today that number is around 80 percent. One-fifth of all men in their prime working ages are not getting up and going to work."

yes, he really does find a way to blame this on medicare. I am just beyond words on this one.
