Of course not.  You're a 23 year-old Republican House staffer, applying frat house humor to public policy.  And you do know that pensions for House staff and members are far richer than for agency employees, right? You mother fuckers vote yourselves any damn thing that works for your and piss on the rest of the country.  The sun will rise again and the American people will send all of you back where you belong.[/quote]

I'm the one you quoted and I honestly don't have a clue wtf you are talking about. What frat house humor? Isn't it basically true that SS is underfunded? And wouldn't the argument that people can't move out of the US extend as I outlined? Also, not that it matters but I'm neither republican, nor do I work in government. So no, I had no idea staffers got more than agency employees. Still no clue what your point was exactly though. That people in power give themselves the best deal? Yea, I guess that's probably generally true and probably unfair. [/quote]

OK, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.  And I just posted after you about my mom getting 20%.  Frat house humor as public policy is just that.  Fat ass upper middle class kids wondering why the rest of the world doesn't act like or get what they do.  And no, Social Security is not underfunded.  It is solvent and will remain so for years to come.  The problem is that it was designed, 75 years ago, as a "pay-as-you-go" program.  Demographics tell us the worker pool may eventually shrink to the point where there is not enough SS tax revenue to pay obligations.  There is currently NO BORROWING to cover the monthly checks our parents and grandparents PAYED INTO AND EARNED (fat ass).

And OK, you didn't know it, but the mother fuckers in Congress have provided for their own futures.  Every one of them, Republicans and Democrats.  There is no discussion about their "entitlement" being reduced, that I know of.  That should be first.  Did you know the Republicans repealed the "Ramspeck Act," after their 1994 victory?  That allowed staffers to jump federal hiring lists to get agency jobs ahead of qualified candidates.  The right thing to do, sure, but it was done out of mean-spiritidness in the wake of an election and not principle.

I'm just tired of meanness and "fuck everyone else after I get mine."  I'm too proud of where we are and won't let the bastards repeal the 20th Century, which is of course their goal.
