AARP's chief executive officer...said the president's idea for private accounts carries huge costs and "is not necessary" to make the program's finances sound over the long term..."

The AARP has basically signed its own death warrant. If they join with the Democrats in bankrupting social security, they won't have much of following.

They're just an insurance company. Like the Farm Bureau, they think they're something more, but they're not.

Of course. The selfish bastards don't give a rats ass about the future as long as they get theirs without having to cut back on winter vacations and greens fees. Oh yeah, give em free meds as well. Disgusting.

Why would a left-wing organization that makes a living by collecting money from SS beneficiaries to lobby our gov't to raise benefits and increase their share of gov't goodies accept a change in SS that allows the beneficiaries to keep a portion of their own money to invest on their own? That would be cutting their own throat and they are hardly suicidal.
