chop off the payments for the people who had faithfully had their paychecks and pockets picked by the politicians promising them that their money would be waiting for them when they were old and sick,”

Hey Huck, the people who "picked the pockets" of current workers were THERE PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS. The politicians aided and abetted it to get votes, and that worked. Huck isn't stupid. He knows this. He also knows that the current benefits are unsustainable, and that a raise in retirement age is a reasonable way to deal with this. But he'll say anything to get elected.

Wait, WHAT?!

I'm still on FR, correct? In what world is "We stole your $$, set arbitrary limits, so we're going to jack up that limit so you most likely DIE before you can get penny ONE" 'reasonable'??
