At 66 the only thing that scares me is when they figure out how to take away what took me a lifetime to earn the old fashioned way.

Don't want or need crap from the government, ain't my way.

I know that, Slick. You’re preaching to the choir.

Most illegals who can get it, will get every penny they can. And most Seniors will continue to vote Democrat and tolerate illegals.

The people behind Romney are the same people behind Obama. They are Globalists.

It is all about money, power, and who will eventually wield both; either the communists, or American business.

Globalism can have at least two different and opposing meanings. One is the attitude or policy of placing the interests of the entire world above those of individual nations, something the communists claim for themselves. You know, they’re doing it for the children!

The Second is viewing the entire world as a proper sphere for non-governmental organizations to project political influence for an egalitarian purpose. In this case, the United States military is used to maintain global stability and peace, using the projection of military strength to establish global-wide security and protect international businesses. This has been supported by both conservative and liberal politicians, both Democrats and Republicans have been involved over the past decades.

The above two groups are struggling to see who controls the U.S. government because it is in the way of establishing a New World Order. What that NWO will finally look like, fascist or Marxist/Islamic, is still up in the air.

Unfortunately, that military is paid for by the tax revenue paid by U.S. citizens and staffed by their sons and daughters; many of those citizens no longer have jobs, as those have all been moved offshore by the “world citizens”.

Neither group gives a damn about the rights of individuals. The common man, or woman, on the street is just a “unit” to be taxed or obliterated, it matters not to them.

The last thing that either group wants is for conservatives with Bibles and guns asserting their God-given rights and demanding that Washington, D.C., changes how it does business.

I will turn 65 this year. I am blessed and not penniless. Neither is my 92 years young Mom, nor my beloved wife. But what the three of us agree on is the impermanence of worldly things and the eternal nature of our Lord and Savior, Who gives us the most precious of all gifts, our immortality through His salvation.

But while this life still lasts, a good supply of guns & ammo helps, too. Nothing like having the Bible in one hand and a .45 automatic in the other. The best of both worlds.

Well said.

They’re all in it together and know how to play their game very well.

If you paid into it, why wouldn’t you want to collect SS?

Because I'll go hungry before I take charity or welfare.

Military?? Todays military?? Great place for gay’s to find partners with DADT ending, now they can check them out close quarters.

The kids who supported Obama on that can afford to pay for our SS and Medicare. Why should I work a single extra day to help them?

McCain and Grahamnesty and Bush types want amnesty to get cluelss recruits to invade Muslim countries to bring them 'Democracy' . Forget it. I have had it with that too.

I have “donated” around $300,000 to Social Security and Medicare during my working career.

I found out at age 52 that I have Leukemia and was told my life expectancy was anywhere from 62 to 67, with the caveat that you never know what Medical advances might increase my expected expiration date. So far, so good, I made it to 60.

I will collect my first Social Security payment in 24 months time at age 62 if I live that long. I will end up getting a morsel of the “contributions” I made and the lost investment income that money would have generated being invested for the past 40 + years.

P.S. I love Big Pharma. Without them I wouldn’t have lived long enough to see the first Communist President.

I’m 56. I hope to work while God gives me the strength, though in practical terms at least 70. Watching all the upheavals in the job force, however, I feel like my world is imploding.

Like you, I raise extra money on the side (hoping to sell a few more things). In addition to company pension I have supplementary retirement savings (which Oprah Winfrey once called the “bag lady fund”).

One thing in life I have learned — never get complacent. Hope & pray for the best, plan for the worst — my motto. Hopefully Detroit should be a wake-up call for everyone.

It was very telling when GHW Bush, Mr. New World Order, visited the White House and kissed up to Obama last week. For him to pay homage to an avowed Marxo-Muslim, America hating man who is doing his best to destroy this country is beyond disgusting and unforgivable.

The problem I am having is finding a place that will hire someone 60+.

Depending on your situation, it could be the perfect time to start your own small business. I expect a lot of people who would have retired at 65 ten years ago will become entrepreneurs and contractors well past that age in the years to come.

I’m not advising everyone to reject SS.

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1979. She beat it.

In 1995 she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She beat it to a draw but was never the same vibrant person as before that cancer. By 2000 she was an invalid.

In 2005 more cancer; tumors near her spine. Radiation zapped that away but by then her immune system had been compromised.

She succumbed to a simple lung infection when antibiotics were not effective.

None of the above medical care could have been done without Medicare or Big Pharma.

It is there for those who must have it - that’s just IMHO.
