From the VOMITORIUM

All of Washington is looking for ways to cut the budget spending in one way or the other…all in the name of the budget deficit…..there has been plan after plan……coming from both sides of the aisle….some have been pretty good and then there are the ones like the proposal coming from the Repub Minority leader of the House of Representatives, John Boehner……

Democrats are slamming House Minority Leader John Boehner for reportedly saying the Social Security retirement age should be raised to pay for the war in Afghanistan — though Boehner’s office vehemently denies he made that connection.

The comment came during an interview Monday with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Boehner said the retirement age should be raised to 70 for those at least 20 years away from retirement and suggested wealthy taxpayers should not be receiving benefits at all. (I do not agree with the retirement thing…if you pay into the fund then you get you check).

“The House Republican Leader John Boehner and his GOP colleagues want to raise the Social Security retirement age to 70 and cut benefits in order to pay for George Bush’s war and their failed policies of the past,” House Democratic Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., said in a written statement.

A ridiculous idea!  It is FORCING Americans to pay for a war without end, especially those people who have worked hard their entire lives and deserve to retire and enjoy what is left of their lives.  I mean working people are the ones the die in war….and now you want the retirees to “do their part”……I tell you what dickheads, when you DO your part, then we will think about it some more”.

This is the best idea they can come up with?  Make working people pay for the war and let those profiting from the war skate on payment.  This is where your conservs are at in Washington….DO NOT let them screw you out of what you have worked and paid for for all those years.
