Bush: Retirement age should be phased in to ’68 or 70’

43. Spot on!

Fewer and fewer workers survive on a job much into their 50s as employers start looking for ways to get rid of 50 somethings and their relatively high paychecks so that they can bring in younger workers that they can pay a lot less — to hell with experience and institutional memory.

So what these born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-their-mouth repugs who have never actually worked are saying is that if you make it to your mid-50s before getting downsized you'll have 3 or 4 MORE years to try to make it through (most likely at a much lower paying job if you can find one) before you collect social security.

And if you do start collecting, it'll only be for a short time.

Way to go, Jeb, you're really chalking up the votes with this and the idiotic "I'd have done the same thing as my brother in Iraq" move.

Turns out you are not the smart one after all.
