Why employ a highly skilled and experienced 55 year old American when you can import an 25 year old Indian or Chinese and pay him less than half as much?
And these geniuses in Congress and the White House better come up with a plan of mandatory job placement when they raise the retirement age from 65 to 67/68 - who the hell is going to hire a 65 year old?
When you hit 65 and over,its not just a job, your body cannot do what it use to...so raising the age doesn’t help much those in that age bracket...They better have the where-with-all to take care of themselves before medicare kicks in....The idea of Bill Gates and Buffet or Perot collecting social secutity is ridiculus.....uber-rich should not be collecting.
