108. Worked since I was 17.....

Sat Oct 10, 2015, 08:47 AM

Oct 2015

and my monthly benefit is $936 after they take out the requisite $104 for Medicare. Most women of my age didn't have access to high paying jobs even if we did have a degree. Pensions became a thing of the past - the rules changed in the '80's when corporations could file bankruptcy and not have to honor their pension obligations. I have a small pension from a publicly funded institution but that's only because I was a union member when I worked there.

The jerks in Ohio who elected this bozo are too stupid to even see how he has his hands in their pockets.
