I understand what you are saying and why you agree with the author but at the same time know way too many widows of people who worked for 44 plus years, paid into the system (with no choice) who held to the traditional norm of the 1940/50/60s of stay at home mothering now entirely dependent on a check from the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program aka social security. I also know of many who after being severely injured (real injury) that just make by via social security. These same people, saw their trust fund bail the government out in the past. The magnitude of the payout ($1T) is important but in context the payment in to the system is far far greater. Robbing Peter to pay Paul is inherited but not caused by those who had to pay in.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03573300104696567386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-65718276007419380172011-05-16T08:26:32.853-04:002011-05-16T08:26:32.853-04:00...and before the seniors raise a lynch mob for me......and before the seniors raise a lynch mob for me, please remember that I have advocated here and elsewhere for policies that negatively impact my own situation, such as higher premiums for my military retirement healthcare and reform of the VA disability system.The Conservative Wahoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818674434286683162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-11141504227952004002011-05-16T07:45:27.014-04:002011-05-16T07:45:27.014-04:00When it comes to opposing Barack Hussein and every...When it comes to opposing Barack Hussein and everything he and his ilk stand for, I appreciate the efforst of the Tea Party activists.
