Those DUmbasses work at the extremes though, Frank. They're not intelligent enough to know that when people are saying we need to have austerity measures, it's a phase-down approach. I might not be able to retire until I'm 72, but people already retired or getting close to retirement won't be touched. They can't work on that because it doesn't stir up emotions. So, they start the "don't balance budget on retirees!" bullshit. They're not intellectually honest enough to tell the truth. Either that or they're just dumb as a box of f'n rocks.
BTW, I DO want to be phased out of SS.
