MSNBC host Contessa Brewer said that people are taking their own lives when their pensions fail. She said “we’re hearing horrific stories, John, about people who are taking their own lives” when the plans they have made for their senior years don’t work out.

This is the MSM trying to warm people up to the idea of a Government take over of private pension and 401k plans. This is already happening in Europe and it has been rumored as being part of the Obama agenda to shore up social security.

So, we don’t need death panels?

[momtothree]

Why is people taking their own lives when their pension fails more horrible than “government lets sick people die with their health “reform”? Just a thought.

Like implement a death panel for them!

Dear Contessa Brewer,

Take Your Filthy Paws Off of my 401K, You Damn Dirty Lib!!

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I guess people have nothing better to do than just hang around.

....She said “we’re hearing horrific stories, John, about people who are taking their own lives” when the plans they have made for their senior years don’t work out.

should read:
.....“we’re MAKING UP horrific stories, John, about people who are taking their own lives” when the plans they have made for their senior years don’t work out”...
There fixed now!

[adorno]

I wonder...

How many of those people were interviewed before they took their own lives?

Or, how many were interviewed after taking their own lives?

How does Contessa or anybody really know?

MSNBC an MSM are all so yesterday.

“we’re hearing horrific stories, John, about people who are taking their own lives”

I keep "hearing" that obama is queer. So what?
Without some form of confirmation, this is all BS hearsay. People commit suicide all the time for all sorts of reasons. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the incidence of suicide among seniors is higher than the norm for a variety of reasons other vthan a loss of pension.

[CholeraJoe]

People off themselves for innumerable reasons. Gun ownership has nothing to do with suicide. Suicide rates are higher in many countries where gun ownership is strictly outlawed. Bear in mind that in the US, suicide rates are highest in males over the age of 65, in particular those who are alone, chronically ill or substance abusers.

[Mercat]

I thought that the libs were all in favor of assisted suicide.

I'm lazy.

[liberateUS]

Maybe they are dieing in flocks like the birds and schools like the fish. We just haven’t heard about it!

[GeronL]

and have they reported any of this??

If not, maybe they aren’t true

[upsdriver]

Oh, good! Leaves more for the rest of us.
