Bill Thomas on C-SPAN

[CindyDale]

Did anyone else hear Bill Thomas on C-SPAN whining about the old lady who lived to be 100 and collected over $20,000 in benefits? And about how women live longer than men and that we need to do something about the inequity of that?

He's figured it out, I guess. Social Security is a feminine conspiracy. The game is up.

I've figured it out, too. All the Republicans are about is misogyny.

1. Was that $20,000 total?

Wooboy! If she retired at 65, that's a WHOPPING $571 a year!!! Oh my God! She was RICH and must have been living in the lap of absolute luxury and comfort!

:grr:
