John Boehner Says In Order To Pay For The Wars, We Need To Raise The Social Security Retirement Age To 70
Anonymous Coward User ID: 990655 United States 11/08/2010 01:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	John Boehner Says In Order To Pay For The Wars, We Need To Raise The Social Security Retirement Age To 70 "Ensuring there's enough money to pay for the war will require reforming the country's entitlement system, Boehner said. He said he'd favor increasing the Social Security retirement age to 70 for people who have at least 20 years until retirement, tying cost-of-living increases to the consumer price index rather than wage inflation and limiting payments to those who need them. "We need to look at the American people and explain to them that we're broke," Boehner said. "If you have substantial non-Social Security income while you're retired, why are we paying you at a time when we're broke? We just need to be honest with people." [link to blacklistednews.com]

[link to blacklistednews.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 990655 Obama bot Fail....note from "the source".... Editor's note: This story has been edited from its original version. During a wide-ranging interview with the Tribune-Review, House Minority Leader John Boehner said the federal government must continue funding the war in Afghanistan to protect the nation. He also said Congress must curb spending on federal entitlements, such as Social Security to reduce the federal deficit. He did not link those issues directly. ____________________________________________________ E-mail anytime [email protected] Inquiring about a ban?, include the IP address found here.

BUT, don't start going for those until you have cleaned up your own freaking mess first. Congressional retirements...why are we paying THOSE millionaires a pension? Government employee pensions where many of them can retire at 50 and then double-dip? Vast amounts of waste? Unnecessary programs? Unnecessary bureaucracy? Huge amounts of money shoving drug users through the criminal justice system over and over? Prisons filled with minor drug offenders who are only hurting themselves? A wasteful military procurement system where Congress insists on buying equipment that even the armed services DO NO WANT. Start with all that shit first and then when you still require more cuts THEN you can go after the old people and poor. THEN you will have earned us sharing the pain. I am perfectly willing to SHARE the pain....but you go first and prove it....it is after all our money.

When you say "entitlements" are you talking about Social security? If so then how is that an "entitlements" if I was forced to pay for it? Is it my fault that they took my money by force and blew it on crap? Especially since they lied and did not keep it separate from the main budget. Having said that, I do agree that some people in the system are getting it and never paid a dime into it like the illegal Mexicans and other illegals. There are also many parasites in the Social Security Disability program. Like 20 year old lazy assholes with "depression". I don't think anyone should be on SS disability unless they are at least 62 years old and paid into the system for at least 30 years. Start with the leeches on SS Disabilty before they start in with the people that paid in to the system. .
