Excellent

The baby boom from the 50s and is going to be in their 60s.

These are people employers don't want to hire. Some are going to quit work in just a few years. These are also folks about to discover the joys of their first surgery for some organ they enjoyed abusing in their youth.

Republicans HATE the idea of a "welfare state" but that's where we are headed as these folks are retiring. Republicans would like them to work until they die.

I am not going to panic. We got through the other impacts.

As to being a welfare state? What exactly is a "welfare state"? It is just a rw buzzword.

It's like the old saying goes.

Liberals don't like the idea of their tax money being spent to hurt people and conservatives don't like the idea of their tax money being spent to help people.

Good thing conservatives are a small minority in this country and always have been.

It's not difficult to talk plainly, to the issues, and in a way that gets people to BELIEVE you are going to fight for them. This undoubtedly disturbs the financial and political elite.

Most politicians talk in vague generalities that simply don't lend believability in today's political climate.

Cut to the chase. Like Bernie.

And not only that, they continue to lay waste to our environment, our natural world, the only thing that allows us to live in relative comfort.

So, a future of Wall St design consisting of much hotter summers, less fresh water, less fresh food, less biodiversity, more disease, more unrest and less social security.

It is amazing how much we have stolen from future generations in such a small time frame. Almost to the point of denying them any kind of future at all. It will be the only recalled legacy of those who labor for corporate ends today.

Bernie Sanders for President as America's Middle and Lower Economic Classes, need HIM!! Go Bernie GO!!!

How could any Democrat disagree with Bernie on Social Security?

If they do disagree they are dead to me—they're little better than a filthy Republican Tea Bagger.

I'm glad Bernie is talking about it. Don't let the extremists destroy it.

I have wondered so many times what people did to survive before S.S. Bernie is right on to make this a big deal issue and to show the leadership on it he always has. I hope hundreds of thousands of Iowans see this piece - that's where it all begins.

Damned important.

and good person as their Commander in Chief. nt
