can't support the system going out. Still...the money for those who put in should be honored.

The Slash Now...covers up bad policies for the past decades...which sadly the New Trade Agreements and the reliance on China will keep...so that our young never have the chance to earn what would keep them from poverty past their 50's.

That this "offshoring and deregulation of banking harnesses" is supported by our own Democrats is the most disheartening.

The cows have been out of the barn and many are over the cliff.

There's nothing LEFT but AUSTERITY...and nothing RIGHT that won't promote it as long as the FAT CATS can survive and their children will do well going to the finest Universities and Private Colleges that others will not be able to afford.

We are Peasants. Get used to it.
