The Obama administration has not only ignored the epidemic of age discrimination in the United States but made it incrementally worse in 2010. President Obama signed an executive order permitting federal agencies to bypass older workers and hire "recent graduates."

Since the Great Recession, millions of older workers have been expelled from the workplace. They are disproportionately represented in the ranks of the long-term unemployed. They spend down their savings until they age into early retirement, where they suffer a 25% loss in monthly Social Security benefits for the rest of their lives. Let the White House know older Americans deserve equal justice under the law.
