In reply to the discussion: I gotta rant on the pension cuts in the funding bill, it made my 77 year old mom cry! [View all]Dustlawyer
(10,495 posts)administered plan that doles out what was left, her $50.00! The company set up a group rate health insurance, United American, that my parents had to stay with and pay the premiums for, no matter how high they got! My dad was uninsurable due to congestive heart failure. Even if my mom wasn't one who had her whole damn $50.00 cut, it would still be wrong, both for her, and the millions of others who are being totally screwed by this naked, greedy, corrupt Congress and Wall Street owned President!
Why in a post like this, where everyone will concede so many are being screwed having their pensions cut by a 1/3, would you feel the need to attack us? The issue is much more important than whether or not my mom's fifty is cut by $17 or $18! It will be much worse for others who started out with their full pension and now get a 30% cut. Their bills, prescriptions, and food are going up and all of the sudden, BOOM, income cut by almost a third!
If you still doubt, look it up for yourself!
