The problem isn’t seniors - it’s the usual scammers who have decided to use ‘disability’ as the new welfare.

“US seniors aren’t going to tolerate free-loaders”

Who aren’t US seniors? I agree!

RE :”Aside from their votes for democrats, the soon to be legal illegals will be paying into the SS and Medicare programs working their lawful jobs. The US needs to kick the can further down the road before collapse so those working the handles of power won’t be blamed. “

Every-so often Paul Ryan spits out his phony budget resolutions, the latest one earlier this year.

They all start the reformation of medicare ~ 10 years from the passage date, 10 years from now, with everyone on it 10 years from now exempt from all cuts.

its not a budget that can be passed either, its just a phony resolution. The real budget funds Obama-care SS+medicare.

But lots of suckers here cheer these phony proposals.

RE :”This is necessary because through government policies, the US has aborted over 50 million American citizens. We need to get the bodies from somewhere.”

If that is the big problem then I guess we can blame birth control (contraception) and self control between opposite sex unmarried couples too, we have less citizens because of those.
(RATHER draconian child support laws will encourage these too.)

Then those folks in cities like in Detroit seems to be pulling all the (OUR) weight, plenty of unmarried moms, you can see them on Judge Joe Brown and Judge Judy.
I am sure Trayvon’s girlfriend will do well.

Our military is filled with competent, upstanding men and women. Don’t blame them for the moral decline of a nation and especially don’t blame them for the social engineering being perpetrated on them by our elected leaders and a corrupt group of military “leaders.”

I guess the same would apply to the boy scouts then.

Except in the case of the military I bet most recruits being young are for the same-sex funny-business,
but in the case of the boy scouts (the actual kids) they are just hostages.

I did that calculation too. I’m on the cutting edge of Gen-X. I’ll be 85 in 2050. Both my parents made it through WWII, smoked and ate unhealthily most of their lives and made it over 80.

I just need to take those anti-dementia supplements!

2050 or bust!

Yes, the vast majority of our military and scout leaders are decent folks. You are disparaging good people. They have dedicated their lives to others and have been betrayed by their “leadership.”

If events continue along the same course, a day will come when they are completely removed from the ranks. I guess you will cheer; the rest of us will mourn the death of our nation.

sickoflibs? I think just plain sick would work.

Right now they are known as the ‘boomers’. In 30 years, they’ll be known as the ‘locusts’.

I certainly wouldnt recommend either to a male now. Homosexuality is perversion and open homosexuality in those institutions is even a worse idea.

That is why McCain and Rubio and Grahamnesty are so hot on amnesty, to get new recruits who be easily molded.

Retirement age should already be at least 75. That the feral government entities believe it’s OK to give pensions to their feral employees at 50 is insane. They get away with it though, because they are more than willing to kill us to enforce their will.

Obamacare is designed to take care of the senior problem.

The problem is that social security was supposed to function like an annuity. It wasn’t a handout and wasn’t meant as welfare. It was supposed to function like an investment that you paid into. Unfortunately, Congress spent the money that was to have sustained the coffers of the annuity, and now we’re going bankrupt.

That's a part of the big lie.

Social security was never intended to function like an annuity.  It was a welfare scheme when it was instituted, and it is a welfare scheme today. The taxes that you pay that supposedly for 'social security' are just another tax levied by the national feral government. I laugh when people talk about getting anything "back out" of social security, like the money paid in was any different than the taxes that have paid all the other types of welfare over the years.

” The Chamber of Commerce is calling for us to give up on our Medicare and Social Security and to support amnesty so they can make more $$$ while we lose.”

Exactly.

Heads they win

Tails they win

The “cheap labor” COC makes more money.

The middle class pays for everything.

” I sold a business a few years back and paid back FICA in a dispute settling of 125,000 and am on track to put in even more than dad did as a business owner

I won’t get back but a pittance what I contributed to all my life

A lot of crybabies here whine about older folks....like girls

I have 9 dependents.....taxes and the stagnant economy are brutal

And yet if I get back just some of the at least 500,000 I’ve contributed to FICA just in principal

And I’m a bad guy....a spoiled brat”

Excellent rant, all correct! I’m in the same boat as you regarding this.

I’m smack in the middle of Xer age range and I’ll be 77 in 2050. If my grandparents are any indication they all made it to there mid 80s and one grandpa is still kicking at 92, so I have pretty fair chance of being around if Obamacare or something like it doesn’t get me first.
