Why is being over 50 such a liability during a job search?

I think there is time for retirement for everyone but not redundancy! The young must grow to replace the old, i have nothing personal in the labour world towards those ageing generation, in my opinion the older you get the more responsible one should be, which means one grows from being an employee to being an employer and from that towards governing in conjunction with the young. 
As the population grows the need for job areas grow too and this isn't just the governments duty to find ways to reduce unemployment.

Many people view the word employment in terms of just that salary based paid job but it isn't so. Freelance (consultants) is a form of entrepreneurship but without heavy burden and it is the bridge that let's you test the business waters before jumping off that clif. And then there is the business world it's self; a complex environment but very rewarding when one has that drive.

Should government screw it's people for the demands they place on them so jobs are available or should people who have given about 20 or even just 10 years to an industry look to push out of paid responsibility and employ others? It's passing the baton to the next generation.
Maybe someday people will realise we are here to serve each other! For now ........

If business loopholes are found in problems, wouldn't the government create problems so that people can find what to be busy with? Wouldn't the elder generation be the best at being a solution rather than throwing themselves out of the labour market siting on pension and that wealth of knowledge dusting? By the way given the amount of fraudsters lurking and incompetence in the world arnt the older generation who has all the track record of respect, network of background history of works not a better candidate to win clients without much effort? I think it is the older generation that have written themselves off as useless while we need them especially in this our supposedly hard times. A lot of knowledge and skill is dying away!
