OK, so lets come out and say it, shall we?

A MASSIVE CUT IN BENEFITS to current workers. And to add insult to injury, no personal ownership of benefits, just the assurance that they will keep raising the age limit so that I will never collect a benefit. This is insane, unjust and unfair to those of us who are contributing currently.

Now I will have to work harder and longer to pay for old people to enjoy benefits that I may never see myself. Workers everywhere should be outraged by this robbery. We need our own AARP to lobby these bozos.

Unfortunately, the only way any kind of reform will make it out of Congress is if it is not completely what we would want. But, the question is, how many bones will be tossed to the Dems.

We simply can't pass a bill without at least some Dems voting for it.

You are quite right. I feel that you young people need an organization to speak for you and against the despicable, left wing AARP.

There are many of us who are Seniors who loathe that organization but they get our tax dollars (and yours) to do damage to us and to you.

Their motivation is not what is up-building for Seniors or for the Nation, merely what can pocket and extend their power, affording them the means to keep filling their pockets. To do that they have succeeded in mis-educating and misdirecting the Seniors they supposedly "serve".

Isn't there some kind of reasonable leadership among you "youngers" that will rise up and fight the AARP juggernaut without sinking into the same pit in which they reside by the means of the same avarice?

Some wise way which will not fulfill the intentions expressed in the minutes of the last Commintern (Communist International) that demonstrated its intent to bring class and group conflict into this Nation in order to impair the unity which existed.

Lack of unity is the current curse of the Nation. A large part of its' existence is due to the intentional actions of a group of America haters.

Lobby....hell.....tar and feathers seems more appropriate. How these idiots can talk with a straight face about screwing American TAXPAYERS yet again in favor of billions for illegals and corrupt foreign gov'ts, etc. is beyond me. Yeah, like we're supposed to believe and support these same scumbags who've been "borrowing" huge $ of SS surpluses over the last couple decades to mask all their overspending.....gee, they wouldn't lie to us would they?

DON'T FORGET THAT THE OLD PEOPLE NOT ONLY PAID A FAR SMALLER FICA TAX-IT STARTED AT 1%- BUT ALSO ARER GETTING MORE THAN THEY PUT IN.

Would you know how much "a massive cut in benefits" actually is?
