I want to aim this at those that complain about the Social Security Albatross you'll be carrying during you working years. I carried that very same albatross for 45+ years. The only difference will be the change in the standard of living. You'll pay out more, as we paid out more for each successive generation since it's inception. I am so sick and tired of hearing young kids complain about supporting an aging population. WE RAISED YOU!  We paid for your education, medical bills, fed and clothed you. Are we supposed to just drop dead at the end of our working lives? I'm certainly beginning to think so. Congress wants to cut back on Medicare. Social Security, without a cost of living adjustment, not very secure. Of course, we all know that seniors don't need food, housing, clothing. What  do we need that for. Just sit in the house and knit? There's a  whole generation, full of experience, that no-one wants to hire, because they may be a little more fragile. may have a handicap. "Primitive" populations are so much wiser than so-called civilized polulations. They have the older generation teach the younger, which is the way it should be. Many companies are missing out on knowledge, experience, expertise because of out-dated assumptions. We're not all "set in our ways", or unteachable. Nor does a mild handicap keep us use-less. Oh, what the ^%*&, why should I care, I don't. I'd just like a job, and am tired of being passed over, by-passed, ignored, and ridiculed, for being too old. I actually worked on the space program, now I'm not good enough to wash the floor. Well, I'll wash mine, you'rs can stay dirty for all I care.
