My father-in-law is retired UP and making out like a fat rat, before 65. Plenty of people living the good life besides UAW members.

You are 100% correct and it is a disgrace here in Florida. We recently had an editorial in the local paper that highlighted the "retirement" issue, most Floridians had no idea how bad it is.
Another example was the President of the local Community College who retired and came back to work the next week. His base salary was $150,000 plus nearly 100,000 in pension. He worked three more years with a total income of $250,000. The Board approved it when we could have gone out and hired a new President for $100,000. Good old boy network is alive and well.
As for Military Retirees, They deserve everything they get and I wish it were more. They are the ones that put it on the line for us everyday and I for one appreciate it.

Hey Steve, I'm one of those retired military and I appreciate your support, but I also believe if they can do it for me, we can afford to do it for the guy's and gal's at GM and every company in America. We just have to do it smart. Thats what I like to believe I was serving for, nobody should be hungry, homeless or without healthcare in our Great Country.
