For true, we’ll be in the Soylent Green intake line.
Actually, there’s a LOT of (unintended; maybe, I hope) truth here. The best favor we ol’farts can do society is die early, just push off on the ol iceberg!
If Obama was serious about reining in deficits and upcoming deficits, obvious answer #1; repeal cigarette taxes, he!! subsidize the darn things, and buy smokers a free bottle of whiskey (American, with the “e”, don’t want to add to the trade deficit) a week. Any luck, we die before we collect!
Seriously, that was FDR’s original bet. Retirement age was 63 because over half of payers would never live to collect and the heirs had no rights. More than COLAs, more than expanded coverage, more even than Congress spending a fictional “Trust Fund”, what is killing Social Security is we are rude enough to pure and simple LIVE TOO DAMNED LONG!
Obama needs to subsidize cigarettes, and First Lady Michelle needs to visit schools explaing the joys of being “well-insulated” against the 2-3 ft. of “Global Warming” (snow, for those of you who wonder what that funny-looking white stuff is) that reached from International Falls to the Rio Grande
Maybe your Waist equals or exceeds your height, that’s GOOD; youre helping the budget crisis by spending well-taxed dollars on food, preferably food with a lot of fat, and dying early from your mis-guided diet.
