Life Expectancy Declines

[randallscott35]

This will fix SS in time. I expect declines to be measured in years within a decade.

Based on data from 2008, the latest available, life expectancy in the U.S. fell 36.5 days from 2007 to 77.8 years, according to the report released today. Life expectancy is calculated by taking the death rates from the U.S. population in a specific year and figuring out the average number of years remaining for a person born in 2008.

Im sure my lfe expectancy is going to be lower because of all the awesome food and liquid refreshments that I have had over the years in New Orleans. I love the food and liquid refreshments so much that im going there in March next year. I will be paying homage to Bubba Gump's, Pat O'Briens, and the Cat's Meow in March.

Louisiana has the highest obesity rate in the nation I believe.

Todays kids are predicted to live shorter, less healthy lives, and not reach their parents education level or financial success in their lifetimes.

Of course, we have national figures like Sarah Palin dissing the First Lady's attempts to fight childhood obesity. Placing politics over our children's health. Reversing that type of meme would be a good start.

There has been plenty of press discussing both those things recently. Didn't think it was controversial!l

Take away the kids x-box and internet, or at least limit them and you will see childhood obesity decline. Most kids don't do anything physical any more.

I heard that the WI has a game based on the show Biggest Loser. Sounds like that could be something of a physical type.

Spoken like true a Democrat. Love how they are supporting Obama on the Tax Bill. Guess that's Obama's own party's way of saying happy holidays. Im sure if it was Michelle Obama dissing something that Sarah Palin would say you wouldn't metion it. Enjoy supporting a political party that is ruining this country.

No. Spoken like someone who sees our country 14th in world health, with skyrocketing national healthcare costs, who doesn't appreciate an obvious dimwit like Bambi of The Tundra dissing the First Lady for a perfectly acceptable and good "fight childhood obesity" campaign.
