I will pass that along to my mom who survives on a postal pension. A pension she paid in to. And since she was not eligible for social security, what do think she should do? Can she come live with you?
no...but keep trying...
At the risk of sounding harsh, why should your mother be shielded from the issues that the private sector deals with everyday?
“I will pass that along to my mom who survives on a postal pension. A pension she paid in to. And since she was not eligible for social security, what do think she should do? Can she come live with you?”
Many Fed/State retirees will be in this position in the future as the shock of “Unfunded Obligations” in unrealistic budgets begin to hit. I draw a Military Retirement now, I expect that sometime in the future it will also be under attack. As a result, I have taken the required precautions if that happends, so should your mother. No she can’t come to live with me, that’s why she gave birth to you. She cared for you when you couldn’t, now it’s your turn when the tables turn.
Welcome to Obama’s America...such as it will be.
My mother is a retired teacher. And claims to be conservative. When the election for Gov. came around, she asked who I was voting for. I told her whoever wins the Republican primary.
She says you can't do that! The republicans are going to do away with my retirement!
Well, of course they weren't. But that's what the AEA basically told the teachers.
My point being. I think your mom's going to be OK. But the taxpayers are getting tired of subsidizing the Post Office and their workers. In the true private sector cuts like this happen all the time. We just don't have unions screaming about it.
A pension that she worked damned hard for!
Before cutting pensions, why don’t we cut off welfare payments and food stamps to the millions of overfed obese grifters who inhabit our cities?
YOU need to be responsible for YOUR family...not the tax payer...I have MY family and problems to be concerned about...
HOW sleazy of you to “pass YOUR Mom off” onto the taxpayer...
so sorry that the Biscuit wheels are coming off the gravy train...maybe your mom can take some pointers from the Greeks...and practice rioting...
Your mother got screwed by her former employer....they knew what was coming....it is NOT the taxpaying public’s fault...
