1945 or more rightly 1946 . . . . .

. . . . . is when the first of the Boomers were born. They kept being born until about 1964 or so. By then it ought to have been clear to everyone that they'd get old and want their Social Security. you know, the Social Security they paid into for all their working lives.

We'll by gosh, by golly, they're starting to line up. The first of them hit the full benefit age last year.

So hey, what better time to pull the rug, to steal their piggy bank, to just plain fuck 'em over.

Yessirree weeeeee doggie.

No one who matters was surprised by this. The vultures were giddy with anticipation.







Oh look. Dave Letterman was mean to Lindsay Lohan.

in 2000 and again in 2008...BOOM! went the market, the same market that the sellers of those retirement funds encouraged us all to jump into so our retirement money would grow-grow-grow!
Very "co-incidental" timing, don'tcha think?

Pet food sales are expected to skyrocket along with the used refrigerator carton trade.

I have also heard there are plans afoot to allow people to take reverse mortgages on their gold fillings . . . . . except that when they mature, the fillings are immediately surrenderable.
