It just might become necessary to short pensions and benefits someday soon. But I dunno how any of us are supposed to sleep at night if we do this without first gutting some other f**ed-up wastes of money.

The war on drugs, excessive military research funding, propping-up dictatorships, corporate welfare for rich companies (subsidies for oil companies of all things? Really?), prisons ridiculously overcrowded with non-violent first-time offenders (before you ask, rape does indeed count as violence), and thats just off the top of my head.

Yet, retirees are the ones being put on the block right now? Not the special interests? “But you can’t beat the special interests. It can’t be done.” Okay then. Whatever you say, quitter.
