As a 12 Stepper, its a little grating to be around addicts while they are high on their particular vice.
I was around a married couple recently (seniors, bless 'em) and they were reeling drunk. I didn't hang around . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

It's a smoke screen since these people go straight for the unemployment line.
...or they retire early, thus getting fewer benefits and 'keeping SS solvent.' I don't think they're extending the retirement age in the hopes of keeping people on the employment rolls longer, as much as they want to find ways to avoid paying full benefits.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Bernie has the right idea. Take off the caps, pay SS on your entire earnings...including those bonuses they award themselves....and everything is fine.

As someone who's SS contribution is capped, I wholeheartedly endorse this idea.

It beats giving it to a fucking church....although not by much.
It actually makes for a pretty good parallel: you throw your money away and during sermons you get a lot of meaningless noise while everyone else in the room stares vacantly.

I don't see what the fuss is about. Bush is correct you can easily work until you are 70. If by work you mean sitting on the board of directors for multiple corporations and being paid millions just to be a shill for the CEO.

This is so true. Some people don't have the brains to realise that what is true for them is not true for everyone.
I've worked for over thirty years now and to be honest that's about enough.

I find it hilarious that we are being told to work harder...longer, while simultaneously being dis-incentivized. I thought these fuckers were supposed to know how to run a business? Isn't that their entire claim to relevancy?

That's why I said, it's a smokescreen. They want to shovel the incentives to their buddies and want the rest of us to put up and shut up. It's the conservative mantra around the world.
