David Gregory need not bother....he is already a loser.
lOnger delay.
At the state that the press in today, I think that would be a dream job!
I swear, why is he calling on these douchebag reporters? He's picking the bigest a$$hats!
Would you rather be old and drawing SS?
Think twice!
Wow--I don't know what that list is for and I'm not gonna ask :)
Since these live threads have so many inane comments, which we have to scroll through to find the gist of the actual opinion/reporting of the broadcast, I'm coming to the point of giving up reading them - especially during business hours when we are stuck in cubicles. Who has the time to read through hundreds of posts that say nothing about the subject that is supposedly to tell us cubicle bound people what is being said. I had to give up on the live Frist cast on C-Span today. Too much hot air and no substance on these live post. I want to hear Freepers reporting the news, not their opinions about the ties, etc.
Bush-10 years ago if we'd had an energy policy it would have had an effect. BAM!
Same goes for S.S.!
1959 here...doomed also. (Only ones with no changes are those born before 1950 supposedly, even that is "Subject to change").
I feel the same way. But instead of the iceberg, you should join me on the steps of the Capital - that's where I plan on dying. I'm going to sit there with a placard, complaining, until I check out.

Well, he just said that if "we" had done something about energy TEN YEARS ago, we wouldn't be having these problems.
Wonder who he's talking about?
HAH! Terry Moron!
In a way you do get to keep some of the husband or wife's SS, if their payment was higher than yours.
When my FIL died, my MIL's amount in her SS check was increased to be what my FIL's amount was before he died.
Yup, they can ...... they're the B-52s of the woods - you can hear the branches in the trees breaking as they hit them (seriously :-)
Another slap at Clinton: "10 years ago, if we had had an engergy policy..........."
David Gregory is interviewing for Peter Jennings' job
Or Don Imus's if that does not pan out.
In case helen thomas has a wardrobe malfunction.
1950
Teri Moran what a cocky SOB
If you are over 65 with no SS of your own and your hubby who has SS dies, you get part of his, not all but part. If you are younger, and the old coot dies, you get nothing until you are retirement age. If you have your own, you either get yours or part of his whichever is larger I do believe.
At one point I do think working women got nothing from their account if husband had SS coming in. Now I think we each get ours from our own account. I don't know when that was changed but it hasn't been that long.
