After paying social security taxes for forty-six years, I’ve been taking my pittance of the bennies without any sense of guilt for seven years now.
I financed the retirement of the so-called “greatest generation” (also known for homophobia, racial segregation and anti-Semitism) and now it’s the whatever-you-call-the-latest-generation’s turn to pay for mine.
The pols can fix this thing on somebody else’s back. I didn’t escape it and I see no reason why the latest crop of unemployed adolescents should either. Get a job, ya bums! I don’t want my checks to be late.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Oh, cutting someone else’s pension is a favorite of failed politicians nowadays. All across Europe and here they keep raising the retirement age, cutting benefits and you name it…
It could be modified, for instance to eliminate or seriously subtract from folks whose other retirement income already is high. But the young ones are trying to get it eliminated altogether, for which I have zero sympathy.
You shouldn’t have a problem. The Fed is still cranking out an extra $85 billion every month out of thin air.
No, that shouldn’t have an effect on the economy … at least, not until Obama is out of power. Once the economy collapses, the Democrats will just blame it on the Republicans.
I don’t expect to have a problem. No politician who values his perks is likely to allow Social Security to die. Corporations with retirement plans have for generations factored it into their calculations. The pols would have a much easier time killing Medicare. I just like to poke fingers in the whiners’ eyes. Much more polite than a sharp stick.
