Speaking of Social Security...

George Will apparently wants those lazy seniors off the dole

Sixty-five days from now, the first of 78 million baby boomers begun (sic) to retire. Most Americans who collect Social Security begin to collect it at age 62, which is absurd. We have the public subsidizing increasingly long and comfortable retirement of people for a third to a half of their adult lifetime. Now. That’s why one in four voters in 2004 was over 60 years old. The elderly have the biggest stake in the welfare state, which exists to transfer wealth to them. So this is, politically, a loser.




Um, WTF??? The rules of Social Security have changed… While it’s true that you can begin collecting at the age of 62, you won’t get as much as if you wait until 65. And so now George is complaining about subsidizing people for up to half of their lives???? How many 120 year olds do you know, George? Are you suggesting that we should be making those indolent 75 year olds pull themselves up by the bootstraps and get back to work? Those lazy seniors…

Work till you die. Now that's a cool Election slogan!

It's to the point where you just need to sit back and just let the Republicans self-destruct.
