This debacle has no happy ending. I know many couples my age, where they have mistakenly perceived social security as some form of retirement. They have neglected to save or invest for their retirement. They have engaged in instant gratification. And, in their middle age, they are deeply in debt. A VERY SIGNIFICANT portion of our baby boomer peers will not be able to handle their debt in retirement. Social Security will not save their house. Though bodies be old and minds be weary, they will not be able to retire. Lo and behold, this culture appears in their children.

Means testing? This insulting euphemism says that those who have worked hard, saved diligently, and planned ahead… notwithstanding their maximum contributions to FICA, will be penalized for their focus and perseverance. Their governmentally incurred devaluation of FICA contributions will be further degraded by “means testing”… i.e. reduced SS payments. The diligent ants are being forced to pay for the fiscal hedonism of the grasshoppers (The current pretender and his liberal enablers in the Legislative Branch don’t seem to know this fable.)

So now it’s unavoidable. History rings true again.

Say! Why don’t we subject health care to the same idiotic policy?

“Show me the money!”
