Retired From G.M. at 54. Pensionless at 74?......

So I'm sitting in a KMart waiting for my wife--and next to a fella in his 80s....Start talking bout 'the situation'----He says he was a machinist up in Ohio and retired at age 49 years ago to come to Flor-ee-Duh....

Sheesh...Great chance of living half his life off others....Can't call him dumb !

I had a couple neighbors who retired at around age 50 from a GM plant. Neither made it to age 60.

No, the stupid label was just out of frustration. The unions will be the ruin of the country. That's what Obama has planned.

Did you read that Obama told Columbia that they were moving closer to the free trade agreement, but that still had some work to do on unionization? Yeah, I guess Obama wants them to unionize the drug cartels.
