At 71 I'm doing my part but I need you Xers to work 70 hours a week so there is enough money in Medicare to pay for my Bypass surgery atcoming up at UCSF. I should be good for another 10 years after that...
I'm 71 also-retired USAF Tsgt. I gave this country my youth, (signed myself into slavery so to speak) for which I was promised Medical care for my family and myself for life-retired pay adjusted yearly for inflation and various other bennies. I don't apologize for collecting what I was promised. My country needed my services and I served twenty years on cooley wages and big promises, while my civilian counterparts were free to job shop, live and raise their children in one place and accumulate wealth as their abilities permitted-while I, ever under the threat of relocation, was limited in making any possible, profitable investments in local areas.
I'm not whining, and crying "poor me" for the choices I made, I am actually completely satisfied with my career choice and would do it all over again. On the other hand I have little sympathy with those who chose to return to the civilian life and lucretive employement opportunities-blew it-and now cry rivers of tears over their self inflicted plight, while envying the likes of me and mine, now that our turn has come.
Why hang the whole burden of fiscal responsibility around the necks of our Xer's-how about demanding that Visente Fox's illegally entered Mexer's bear a portion of America's debt?
That's fine by me,but you ol timers need to get up off your wallet and have some nice landscaping done instead of trying to lowball my prices :)
See,it really costs ya in end.
