I think the first thing the federal government can do in association with advocacy organizations like CARP is to confront some stereotypical myths about what seniors want to do or what they don't want to do.
For each of us in this room—those of us who are middle-aged, as well as several who are younger—the things in our lives that give us a sense of purpose, that give us gratification, that give us a reason to get up in the morning, those things that are meaningful to us are also meaningful to seniors: staying engaged recreationally and socially; keeping your brain challenged; and keeping your body in good shape. It's a myth that people outgrow that need as they get older. It's a myth.
