Trying to sidestep the rules are you? Let the profanity filters do their thing.
All this hate, because of a 3% tax break for the top income earners? Is 35% federal income tax just to low in your opinion, and gets you frothing mad?
That 3% tax break is A HELL of a lot of money.
I agree the retirement age should be filled. The response from SONY should have gone to the disability department. If your father can't work, then go on disability, get you SSI early, thats how the system works. If a doctor says you're capable of working, well, he is a doctor.
My Grandfather worked till 72, with bad knees, losing his mind, and still harder than any man I've ever known. But he wouldn't have had it any other way. We tried to get him to retire, be damned, he didn't want to.
That 3% tax needs to come back. Watched an interview with Erin Burnett the other day, she talked to several wall street execs, and business leaders. All of them said yes, the tax cut repeal would mean they would make slightly less money, but it would do nothing for their hiring efforts.
Why do you people read this garbage? The war budgets have NOTHING to do with the SS budgets and the age of retirement being raised is not because of the war..

No wonder so many on the left have no clue..
When people bring up war spending as a means of balancing the budget, others bring up entitlements, which SSI is lumped into.
Oh, we get it now Boehner, we get to retire later to pay for extending the Bush tax cuts for the rich. Why didn't you just say so?
Ahh WRONG as usual... You get to retire later because SS is a WELFARE program and its expected to fund more and more WELFARE. Things like senior citizen housing, discounted/free utilities for seniors.. NONE of these things were budgeted into the cost when seniors paid their ss "Tax"...
SS is a DIFFERENT budget, and the tax cuts have NOTHING to do with the stability of the SS..
He gave the keynote speech at the RNC convention. and he was Gov. of California.
get you insults in order.
there have been at least 50 years worth of attempts by Rs to reform.
50 years of democrats stonewalling and preventing any meaningful reform.
50 freaking years!
50 years, really, I'd like a list of every time they stopped it, can you provide that, or are you just going to invoke an actor that had little to no political pull?

im not allowed to rep you anymore... we have said the same thing... again...
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.

do your own googling. its fact. anyone can find it if they like.

Thus, they are tied, due to politics.
There are other entitlements involved in the same budget as the war spending. Social Security is NOT one of them.. Anyone who discusses war spending into a discussion about SS simply has no idea what they are talking about..
