Some of you people deserve to lose everything you own and end up on the street buck-azz broke. You 'I got mine, screw the rest of you' republicans are the most disgusting bunch of sub-human creatures the earth has ever had to endure.

Then you must be one of those "I'm entitled" people, right? Those that say, "My great-great-great grandfather was SO mistreated that I deserve to be treated and treated and treated with freebies".
What makes you think you are different from the rest of us, goplies? You take, take, take, all that you can get also. Tell me you don't! - Reply to this comment
- Help me out here. I am 72 and have been paying into social security for a long time. I remember when social security was solvent and had lots of money. Maybe they had too much money. When Congress and the politicians saw all that money out there, they just had to have it. So, the rolled the social security money into the general fund, one big grab bag. Congress allocates money to social security as it sees fit. Between Congress stealing the money and medical fraud the government refuses to correct, Yeah, I think social security could run out of money and 'death panels' are coming. Do the math, check it out.

oldbasicgal,
Maybe your aversion to literature is because you have difficulty reading and comprehending the most simple of sentences as your reply previous replies have shown.

- "We were too busy working and raising our kids and giving them the things we did not have as children to sit down and write a letter to our congressman."
Its almost poetry, is it not ? Drink in the lack of political innovation or creative thought. Apparently, in the gospel according to oldbasicgal the boomers were the first generation who forgot how to walk and chew gum. - Reply to this comment

The revisionism begins already. The rightwing rhetoric has changed from lazy swines need to get jobs, to globalisation is a fact.There are no jobs. Do something about it. (Allow your detractors the briefest of pauses to say WE TOLD YOU SO! ......for decades)
To tar all boomers with the same brush is erroneous as the generation was as ideologically split as any other . The fact remains we are where we are .The current US/global position is the widely predicted results of Reaganomics. I will say listening to boomers (whose savings, pensions, investments, property appreciation and salaries are all directly related to the wide spread promotion of usury by the financial market) admonishing others highly hypocritical .
Trust me, we X'ers aren't looking to the boomers to come up with solutions and certainly do not care for some of your more ill educated opinions.
I find a member of the boomer generation (from across the barricades) Joni Mitchell summed it up with exquisite foresight in the lyrics to her song Big Yellow Taxi . - Reply to this comment
- For everyone trusting the government for universal health care, let this be a lesson. Just as thieving politicians stole money out of the Social Security "trust fund" to spend on getting re-elected, they have allowed Medicare to slip. We can expect the same from the stupid health care bill, but it will be on a grand scale if the new Congress and the next President don't put a stop to it.
