If we’re forced int oearly retirement how are we going to pay our ginormous Obamacare premiums OR penalties?
The Obamamenace’s plans are working not only on the international stage, but also at home. He WANTS to destroy our economy. He views it as a predatory, parasitic, racist colonial power living off the lifeblood of third world nations.
He’s a menace.
I wouldn’t put much stock into a report about the current economic well being of the country put out by the Fed’s propaganda machine. I think the numbers are way off 30% doing better off than they were 5 years ago And less than 20 % struggling to get by ...BS
The Obamaeconomy; but when are the admistration and democrats going to be punished at the polls by the citizens for the terrible job they are doing?
I am extremely lucky to have a good position with benefits at this stage of my life, but I am profoundly worried as to what is coming..I fear a terrible war with calamity everywhere...
Doing a terrible job is one thing, but then dems and the 0bama regime are purposely punishing American citizens and taxpayers.
I'm part of that segment that has been forced into retirement, and believe me, punishing the dems and RINOs at the polls is very low on the list of "punishments" that have crossed my mind for these TRAITORS!
America for Americans!
Forced Retirement?They (we) haven't seen anything yet.
My parents are in that exact spot. My dad retired early and started collecting SS, but then started a very lucrative consulting business and actually has to limit the amount he makes. He’s loving the job too; he’s not doing it out of necessity.
Not to worry. Recovery Summer 5.0 is here.
Just WOW! Holy CRAP Batman!
Almost HALF the country of middle class Americans can't pay the cost of a new tire without borrowing the money. Holy Guacamole!
There are thousands who are in on the plan and help him achieve his goal. There are millions who believe it and vote for him. And there are millions who don’t believe it and vote for him. But the most dangerous are the rinos who don’t believe it.
this just in from AARP
This just came in by e-mail from the AARP organization: Cholesterol-lowering drugs (Statins) Why they are prescribed: Statins are used to treat high cholesterol. Examples: Atorvastatin (Lipitor), fluvastatin (Lescol), lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol), rosuvastatin (Crestor) and simvastatin (Zocor). How they can cause memory loss: Drugs that lower blood levels of cholesterol may impair memory and other mental processes by depleting brain levels of cholesterol as well. In the brain, these lipids are vital to the formation of connections between nerve cells the links underlying memory and learning. (The brain, in fact, contains a quarter of the body's cholesterol.) A study published in the journal Pharmacotherapy in 2009 found that three out of four people using these drugs experienced adverse cognitive effects "probably or definitely related to" the drug. The researchers also found that 90 percent of the patients who stopped statin therapy reported improvements in cognition, sometimes within days.
When? Never!
Because those struggling to survive from paycheck to paycheck, beaten down with little or no hope, must vote for whoever promises the most government benefit. To such a one, survival takes precedence, and the meager subsistence they receive must not be interrupted. Why indeed should such a one care about cutting the very government spending they depend upon for their very existence?
Pelousy and Boner must be taking these drugs.
Like your Dad I’ve been there and done that and I’m actually much happier now than when I was working for a large corporation.
I feel sorry for those who tried to plan and who lived within their income but had disasters befall them.
I do NOT feel sorry for the majority who spent beyond their income for unnecessary items trips new cars new phones new everything each year etc.
I agree with you.
I can understand the concept of “forced retirement”.
Supposed you are in your late 50s/early 60s. While age discrimination is illegal, it is easy to avoid hiring older workers.
For example, say a company recruits for a job, and there are 10 applicants who meet the qualifications. One or two are older, and the rest are much younger. It is easy to just remove the older workers from consideration.
The only areas in which age could be an advantage would be some senior level management positions, in which an employer might like someone with 20 or 30 years of increasingly responsible experience.
But otherwise, for mid level professional jobs, or random hired help type jobs, employers prefer younger workers.
Also, when you apply for a job, and you are not hired, you never really know the reason why you were not hired. You never really know the qualifications of the person they end up hiring, or have the ability to compare their resume to yours. You are never told the real reason you were not hired. I’m sure this is to avoid lawsuits.
Yesterday I learned that a Harvard study found a correlation between Viagra and increased melanoma risk.
Bad news for nudist retirement communities!
