Money pumped into, baby boomers, plugging their income, life insurance carriers


With retirement accounts declining, and 401Ks falling through the floor, the answer may be found in annuity life insurance policies. With money being pumped into secure investments, life insurance carriers are looking to annuity markets to catch the dollars of those baby boomers and avoid plugging their income or savings into retirement funds.
Protect your family and your investments with an annuity policy
This kind of market, annuity policy, provides the best option for insurance companies to make money, and that is why they are keeping rates low. Investing money in these policies at low rates allows the life insurance seeker to keep a savings and investment policy while still retaining the insurance over their life and death that is so essential to themselves and their family.

Though I guess "pumped into" means "invested into" and I know in general "baby boomers" means those people who born during baby boom period.
