On Voting Republicans Out Of Office

Happy Sunday Morning, CI. I understand well what you're saying. In 1935 when President Roosevelt introduced the Social Security Act, was a different period. The average person did not live much beyond 65 when the SS was supposed to begin paying out. Today, with scientific medical improvement, getting earlier checkups, giving up smoking, eating properly, human longevity has been extended. Therefore, the system has to be *adjusted* to fit today's future retirements. For instance, instead of retiring at 66 one might have to retire at 68 before receiving SS, etc.

I believe this was discussed previously in an exchange between the poster, edgarblythe and me.

Hi MiT, That's one of the advantages and disadvantages of a social blog like a2k where subjects are repeated on the same thread or on different threads. But, I find nothing wrong with those issues, because they need to be repeated for people to understand the issues being discussed from all the different pros and cons involved.

For me, it meets the entertainment and educational value of such sites as this.

I could not agree more, my friend. There does seem to be an urgency to repeat this because SS is being discussed and many ordinary Americans are in a panic with some thinking their SS will be reduced along with medicare benefits. My parents have to pay extra co-pays.

The seven criminals who never served prison time.

In the US, if you murder one person, you serve your life in prison or pay the ultimate price with your life. If you're in the US government and are responsible for tens of thousands of innocent people getting murdered, you don't get charged with any crime or pay "anything."

Some US citizens call them heroes.

Actually, Gov. Perry, freedom of religion DOES include freedom from religion. People who were a lot smarter than you – Roger Williams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, to name a few – understood this. You see, religious freedom must, by its very nature, include the right to reject all religion or else it isn’t really religious freedom. http://bit.ly/163fGnK

They don't understand simple words like "freedom." TNCFS and many are the heads of state in this country. That speaks loud and clear about the voters; same mental capacity.

We need an electorate sympathetic to the needs of its people and not its corporate bullies...

Donald Trump has filed for bankruptcy more than his fair share, and while accepting a bailout from the government he slithers like a snake to trash the poor.
