I was born in 51...yikes!

We're screwed. We knew we would be. They've been stealing my money for 34 years--too young to get anything back, and too old to benefit from any reform. Companies no longer have retirement benefits, and medicare will collapse. I'm gonna find an iceberg and float away when I get to old to support myself and all the yahoos who won't work.

Would you rather be old and drawing SS?

Think twice!

I feel the same way. But instead of the iceberg, you should join me on the steps of the Capital - that's where I plan on dying. I'm going to sit there with a placard, complaining, until I check out.

There is no Medicare and there is no Socha Security. At this point they are just another budget item And they will always be funded. As to what extent, and who gets what, that could be another question. SS will probably be means tested before long. If you poor a lot of money into socha security don't plan on getting too much back, if you are young and successful.

I think GW sees this and wants younger people to have a fair shake. Rats only want more tax money to have more pork to get reelected with and have more power.
