In my last post yesterday, I made fun of baby boomers who didn’t care about Social Security because they’ll die while it’s solvent. I mocked, but a Congressman says:
“Why stir up a political hornet’s nest …. when there is no urgency?” said Rep. Rob Simmons (Conn.), who represents a competitive district. “When does the program go belly up? 2042. I will be dead by then.”
Your candor impresses me, you confiscatory eater of the young. Unfortunately, the candor from a politician indicates that he thinks it’s a safe sentiment to express, like cursing Bosnians in south St. Louis. You’re among friends and you all think the same way, ainna?
