Now is when we go broke and my generate bleeds to death trying to pay for this.

They should role the age back to at least 75. They are going to have to do something, we flat out cannot afford it.

I think old folks in this country are basically discarded like so much trash when they are old, this is small recompense enough for them.

In so many other horrible, disgusting 3rd world countries, with all their faults, at least in those places Senior citizens still are cherished, loved and revered for their wisdom. They are such wonderful people

I would surmise that the trillions of dollars of national treasure that has been so recklessly squandered on the Iraq adventure would be more properly first questioned than what is spent on Social Security for our senior citizens to attempt to live out their golden years with a modicum of dignity.
