“I also expect demonization of double dippers”
I receive a teacher’s pension and so my Social Security (earned before I became a teacher) is cut by about 50%, because ‘double dipping’ is frowned upon.
On the other hand, I believe that Barrack Obama gets pension payments from the state of Illinois for his state senate term, a pension from the U.S. for when he was a Senator, and of course his pension for being President of the U.S. for eight years. And I’ll be he also gets a Social Security check from his time as a ‘community organizer’.
It all depends on who’s doing the dippin’.
(I have no problem with military retirees double or triple dipping. The nation owes them.)
HERE’S one for you:
The OBAMAs took BIG MIKE’S MAMA into the White House. MRS. ROBINSON.......
She was given a title & a “JOB” as ‘caretaker’ for her 2 grand kids.She got paid a handsome amount-—she lived IN the White House-—where all the cooking/shopping/cleaning/laundry was done FOR all of them-—and SHE got a handsome salary for “caretaker” for the 2 girls....for 8 years....
NOW SHE HAS A LIFETIME PENSION FOR THAT 8 YEARS of TAKING CARE OF HER GRAND KIDS.....with all those services taken care of——
IIRC-—Her pension is in the neighborhood of $90,000 annually.
THAT needs investigating
