[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3837677, member: 58386"] Now I told you this before at no time did I say that Rep's didn't deserve it. What I did say was that we Dems and our policy initiatives are tired of being demonized by pseudo conservatives who are currently or will soon be benefiting from the legislation we somehow managed to get passed into law despite bitter opposition from the political party they so tightly embrace. I once delivered to a place and was signed for by this close to retirement gentleman. He said: ' I love my country but I don't rust my government". My response: Well, there's one person who will not be drawing Social Security and Medicare". He just stood there with that shot in the nuts look on his face. I said to him: Why would you want to entrust something as important your old age health and economic security to a government you say you don't trust?" He was clearly embarrassed by his own stupid comment but by the sound of things some conservative demagogue got in his head. By all means you should apply for benefits when the time comes provided that you have met the qualifying criteria but consider this question: What would your options be if we DIDN'T somehow get those programs passed into law? The answer would be damn few and you know it. [/QUOTE]
