[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5486090, member: 58386"] At FDX and non union, retirement benefit plans will continue to be dismembered because the employees can's do a damn thing about it. Therefore, it will be under constant attack from FDX for years to come. Keep this in mind. 1931 marked the lowest number of childbirths on record. . No surprise there....The Great Depression. Now just 15 years later marked the beginning of the birthing of the largest generation in American history. The reason.... World War II. A war that cost 405,000 American lives about that many and more wounded out of a population that at the time was only 138 million. Therefore, replenishing the numbers was a matter of human instinct . I have a brother. He's 71. He never married and has no children. It's not a matter of choice or sexual orientation, it's just the way his life turned out. He worked hard, paid taxes, spoke English, saved his money, obeyed the law and made a productive contribution on an everyday basis....until the ravages of Parkinson's disease rendered him physically unable to continue. It's hereditary. Our maternal grandfather had it and it has passed down through the generations to both my brother and cousin. Today he's in a nursing home. His 21 days of Medicare full benefit coverage has been exhausted along with his 100 days of coverage less a sizeable daily deductible . He's now self pay and has been that way since last September paying it all out of his life's savings.....$271 a DAY..... but on 1-01-23, that $271 went to $325 a day. He'll pay it out of his own savings....for awhile....until they're exhausted at which time he will join the 62% of Americans who are in nursing homes and on Medicaid because they too outlived their money. So what do you propose as a solution? Just remember.....the solution you propose be inflicted on the previous generation must be the one you would agree to be inflicted on your generation. [/QUOTE]
