Boohoo Why don't they do a story about the poor slug that worked in the private sector since he was 12 and paid into Social Security and now can expect to have his retirement age pushed to 67, 70, or 72. All the while he ends up receiving far less in benefits than he ever paid into the system? The guy is making $36,000 per year on a pension. Social security tops out way below that and most people have only around $14000 per year!

Or is that not enough of a tear jerker for the masses?

Even if the plaintiffs “win” in court, they’ll still lose due to accelerating dollar devaluation undertaken by the Fed in its attempt to save the big banks by pumping up the nominal value of their assets and derivatives through QE to Infinity.

RI..because of its small size, geographically and demographically, is feeling the pinch first. Normally a very blue state, former Providence Mayor David Ceceilline, now running for a House seat, would normally be a lock..but he may well lose, because it appears he **GASP** lied about a huge budget deficit the city faces...RI is basically a city-state...so the state doesn’t have any $$..and they have an idiot as a governor to boot..

you EXTORTED your exuberant pension virtually at the point of a gun, and now are whining because there's not enough money to pay for it???
