Bernie Sanders Invite Bush To Go Fuck Himself
more or less.

Quote:I have a hard time understanding what world Gov. Bush and his billionaire backers live in,” Bernie said after Jeb Bush told an interviewer that he thought the Social Security retirement age should be raised.

“We need to look over the horizon and begin to phase in (an increase in the retirement age over an extended period of time),” said Bush, “going from 65 to 68 or 70.” With those words, Bush seemed to suggest that the current retirement age is 65. It is currently 66, and is scheduled to rise to 67 for people born in 1959 and afterwards.
“It is unacceptable to ask construction workers, truck drivers, nurses and other working-class Americans to work until they are 68 to 70 years old before qualifying for full Social Security benefits,” Bernie said in response this week, adding:

The fundamental stupidity about that global discussion over raising the retirement age is, that companies simply don't recruit senior citizens or they try to get rid of them. Too expensive compared to the usual pitance they're willing to pay.

It's a smoke screen since these people go straight for the unemployment line.

A world in which the working class is expected to die before achieving full benefits, or, on the odd chance that they have a year or two of life left, that they don't draw.  

-The world we live in...that's the world he(and his billionaire backers) lives in, Mr Sanders.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Most (?) private plans offer differing retirement age options v/ payout, I wouldn't mind have options with SS too.

They would have to be 'actuarially sound' (whatever that means) options, from my viewpoint.

Curious admission:

I don't have a problem with means testing, although if they did it I would most likely have a loss of benefits. I'm not thrilled with pensioners pissing away their SS checks at the casino, but that is a different thread . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

If they have the means and it's their idea of fun, more power to them. They can't take it with them after all.

Ever stroll thru and watch the catatonic compulsive vacant stares of the pensioners?

It's like looking at death.

I'm rather apalled by lilac hair and their outfits than their gambling habits. As I said, if you can't take it with you ...

I wonder if retirement age is going to become a Republican talking point

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/09...36568.html


Greg Gianforte believes that there should be no retirement because...the bible.



Quote:There's nothing in the Bible that talks about retirement. And yet it's been an accepted concept in our culture today," he said. "Nowhere does it say, 'Well, he was a good and faithful servant, so he went to the beach.' It doesn't say that anywhere."

"The example I think of is Noah," he continued. "How old was Noah when he built the ark? 600. He wasn't like, cashing Social Security checks, he wasn't hanging out, he was working. So, I think we have an obligation to work. The role we have in work may change over time, but the concept of retirement is not biblical."

He is considering running for office in Montana

You must be looking at the wrong people.  I remember my grandparents, and they were mentally sharp pretty much to the end.  The three who made it to their eighties were more alive at 80 than quite a few people are ever.  Also, they were physically in decent shape, very good for their age.

As for gambling, every time I have visited a casino (which has been only a few times, and never something I particularly wanted to do), the stares are generally vacant for those at the slot machines, no matter what the age of the idiots wasting their money.  I find the experience of visiting a casino revolting on multiple levels.

One more thing:  My grandparents never gambled, as far as I know.

It beats giving it to a fucking church....although not by much.
