Re: $53 Billion Dollar Problem

Do you have the more concrete copy?


53 billions sounds like a lot but it doens't mean anything without a test group or other groups to make a comparison. Maybe old people cost us 100 billion a year. I would bet old people cost us a hell of a lot more than young people.
