Hey Boomers, let's rejoice! The reason our Soc. Security is delayed for two years is

94. Jeez oh Jeez oh Jeez:

I have ben told all my damn life how important it is to make sure the Democrats are in power.

We had Democrats in power while Bill Clinton was in office, January 1993 to January 1995. Did any of them decide to really consider the needs of middle incomed Americans (to say nothing about the actual working class?) Did they decide to turn around this travesty regarding the two year Social Security delay around? And to restore us Baby Boomers to the original agreement we had with the government regarding Social Security?

We all know they didn't. Of course, if it had been a travesty that was important to them, such as getting the "Trade Agreement" known as NAFTA passed so their buddies in Big Business could easily makes tens of billions of dollars, while compelling tens of millions of newly impoverished Mexican and Central Americans to attempt coming into the USA to seek work, it would have been done, Presto! and Bob's your uncle.

We saw the same thing happen when the Democrats re-took the House and Senate in January of 2007. What did they go into the Congress and try and get done after this sweep of Congress and their newly won majority? Their very first big concern was helping Amazon and Time/Life get reduced rates at the US Post Office. And to help do that, they socked higher postal rates onto smaller publishing firms, like the one my family runs.

And again, no interest at all in the fact that the Social Security earnings are delayed "by choice" for most people, as most people who can somehow afford to wait it our want to avoid being clipped some 35% in taking an early retirement at 62.
