while eating lunch today, I heard a couple of 70 something seniors complaining about "that socialist O-bama" and even tried to link that Texas A & M killer with the "evil one." Now, I know that these four older white southerners didn't have any intention of voting for Obama or any Dem presidential candidate for that matter. But what upset me was how one of the old men was complaining about how Obama is saddling his grandchildren with debt. Yet, I didn't hear him volunteer to pay more for his Medicare benefits as per the Ryan plan, yet he's Ok with the younger folk paying payroll taxes to support the program and receive less benefits. What ever happened to "shared sacrifice?"
It's a fact that our bloated defense budget in real dollars is twice than that of the Eisenhower admin, which was engaged in a brutal Cold War with the russians. Before the gov't cuts the social benefits that we are forced to pay for, the gov't needs to not spare the defense budget for reduction, not even think of eliminating capital gains tax and come clean on what type of deductions that they wish to eliminate from federal income taxes.
Didn't your mother teach you not to listen in on other people's conversations?
See where it got you? All crabby and miserable because someone you don't even know was talking with their friends.
The subject of the topic is the ol crabby seniors , not ol crabby me.
The man was as loud as Rush limbaugh and I was seated right next to them and alone. Hard to not hear them.
I hope you know that typical _monthly_ medicare premiums are in the triple digits. and it has to be paid every month- that's right 12x a year, so it's not a cadillac plan especially when you consider lifelong contributions into it. it 's auto-deducted from seniors' monthly social security direct deposit.
Old people can be a bit senile and easy to dupe, which is why when they vote they vote for the idiot Rush Limbaugh champions. Plus, they like to ****** and complain about how they worked hard back in the days and made $2.25/hr or whatever.
******, your $2.25/hr went a long ways than my $8/hr does today!

You need to spent more time with those folk, sounds like they know the truth and you still have much to learn.... They understand and you don't seem to

well, the fedgov did promise to pay socialized security, medicaid and medicare, and since they paid their dues, then i dont see what you are moaning about. I thought that is what all democrats wanted? more social secrity, and more federal programs. maybe you should have told the old man that obama was cutting 700 billion from medicare.
<cough><cough>listening to other peoples conversations and whining that OMG, old people don't like obama....
