“’Jeff Fravor, 55, a retired train conductor’” 55 and reired huh well then Jeff then YOU are part of the problem in this coutry.”
What is your comment supposed to mean? My neighborhood is crawling with Navy/Army/Air Force/Marine retirees. Nearly all retired from the military in their 40s and by age 55 are well into their 2nd careers from which they derive significant incomes, and from which they will receive a second pension, based on the experience they picked up during their first careers. So far as I know, their retired military pensions and benefits are not affected by their 2nd career incomes, as is SS.
Do you think that this guy is in to his “second” career? Doesn’t sound like it. O and RR retirement and Post Office retirement is totally divorced from “Social Security”.
