Re: CBO Forecasts that by 2017 over 2 Million will leave the job market due to Obamacare

Total red herring and I'm sure that you realize it. Social security & Medicare do not dis-incentivize work. They encourages it. You need to work to a prescribed age before you qualify. My claim that obamacare will dis incentivize work is sound and was cited in the CBO report which you are obviously just picking and choosing arguments that you support.

So why do most people take Social Security at the earliest possible age (at 62) at a big cut instead of waiting to max out on it at 70?

That is exactly what it is looking to do. It allows the freeing up of positions for those who would prefer to retire instead of locking them into a job they would rather leave. Just like you did, although you did so under slightly different circumstances.

Because they can and they want to. They still had to work to get it. That's contrary to handouts like welfare, food stamps, HEET, and heavily subsidized medical coverage. Those are dis-incentives. By the way, you disrespect trade unions and the military with your comments. People who put in their time and meet the requirements to receive benefits should not be put into the same category as leeches and parasites.

I guess you don't understand the difference - which shouldn't surprise me. I left a 40 hour job with benefits. If it were turned into a 30 hour job without benefits that would be a dis-incentive. Do you get it now?

You worked for the same bloated government. The only difference was that I retired while you fucked up and were fired. Don't you remember that? I see you're still collecting that bloated government pension though. About $725 a month, isn't it? That is tiny but as your mother must have taught you, size doesn't matter. Government pension makes you a hypocrite.

Lets understand our terminology. If you earn something, you are not a taker.

Pension - earned
welfare - taken
food stamps - taken
Social Security - Earned
Disability - Earned
HEET - taken

Whether or not you get one in the private sector is irrelevant. When I accepted my job it came with certain benefits. One of them was a pension. If I put in 25 or more years and reached the age of 55 or more, then I would get a certain percentage of my average salary (over my best 3 years). I accepted the job with that benefit. Do you think that I should turn it down? If you think that the job is so great, apply for it. Just be willing to work all hours. Work weekends. Work holidays. Work storms when your family has not been tended to. Be unable to get vacations in the summer. If you are unhappy with the private sector. try to do my former job.

Boy, you just keep scoring zero. Dan Lawrence has pulled away so far ahead of you that he's disappeared over the hill in front of you!

So ... for the umpteenth time, let's get this straight. As far as the teeyay went, I never got fired. I was SUSPENDED without pay pending an investigation. How did the investigation turn out? I was EXONERATED! That's right, I was invited back! But during that suspension, I found a better job doing what I wanted to do more than hang out with pinheads like you. I went into radio. And it paid better!

So maybe you're trying to say I got fired from the Department of Public Service. Nope ... wrong again! After 10 years of being a useful engineer at the NYS Commission on Cable Television, the agency was abolished by ... (drum roll, please) Padre Cuomo in a deal with Senate republicans because he got tired of their bitching that they weren't getting enough camera time on the NY-SCAN channel we operated. And so, after bingbong shamed Cuomo for "throwing all those people down the elevator shaft" Cuomo had the Department of Public Service take in the entire staff of the Cable Commission into THEIR agency.

I spent a little over a year there, discovered that they weren't the least bit interested in engineering, it's an agency of lawyers and to hell with engineering stuff. So we started a software company, and I officially RETIRED from the agency back in 1997, but didn't take my pension. Not fired there either.

And you're wrong about the pension amount too, it's less than that. Unlike your selfish self, I took the plan that throws my 12 years of service pittance that ensures that bingbong gets paid for life if something happens to me. Unlike yourself, I don't NEED that money but you don't get any more money if you wait past age 62, so I took it.

Finally, I'm not a republican. I have no issue with government paying pension in lieu of shit salaries while in government service. It is YOU who are a republican, pissing and moaning about "takers" and "big government" and all the pension "reform" that your party stands for.

So once again, your score: *ZERO* and thanks for playing.

So if you wanna lose fat, fast one day a week on 750 calories.

Make a stir-fry as your main meal. Add some rice or quinoa and an Asian dressing for flavor.

Why attack Train Dude?

I think the benefits benefit the public so that the workforce is younger. Who wants a 75 year-old super?

That's not my point. I'm not attacking him on as much as believing it to be somewhat hypocritical that he gets to get his pension and other benefits as a public employee but that new employees in his same job somehow shouldn't receive those benefits.

Well the people who complain about benefits don;t use common sense.

Apply the logic to cops or firemen. I;m not a Democrat but recognize they need a "20 and out" pension because it;s a young man;s job and public is safer with a young civil service workforce.

I guess it's a race to the bottom. The private sector has been cutting benefits for years, now it's the public sectors turn. All the whole the gap between the "haves" and "have nots" grows.

Or to put it more specifically (my problem with him on this) is that he fully supports those who are doing this to everybody else, and sees no issue with any of it as long as he's getting his. Republicans should live by their own principles as surely as those who oppose them live by ours.

Absolutely ... and government service is no cakewalk. Folks who do it DESERVE their pension in lieu of the shitty salaries. But again the point is here we have someone who's biting the tit that fed them throughout their career. If you hate "big government" and have a problem with people "collecting" then maybe you should have made other life choices.

I fully enjoyed my time with the Cable Commission - I felt that I earned my check every day and then some. I was PROUD of "performing the people's duties." Not so much so with some of the other agencies I worked with, which is why I moved on. Train Dick should be proud of his work and like me, fight on behalf of those coming up behind us and ensure that THEY get a good deal for that work as well. Crickets. :(

You articulated it better than I ever could. I have an uncle who thinks like Train Dude, he worked for the State of Michigan until he was bought out, gets a nice pension and lifetime medical benefits, and bitches about Obama, Obamacare, and public employee benefits. It was ok when he got his benefits, but when it doesn't benefit him, the government is too bloated and taxes are too high.
