"If you're getting ready to retire, it just may mean you have to work a few more years"

[Avalux]

So said the female financial guru on CNN this morning. She very matter-of-factly sat there and explained that people will need to adjust how they live and how they've saved money for retirement.

If you're young, you'll probably be OK because you'll have time to save money.

If you're old and you've saved for retirement via money market accounts, you're screwed.

So WE have to bail out these institutions with our tax dollars AND we have to suffer the consequences of their greed; suck it up and live with it.

This is not going to end well.

2. Dammit all, they've stolen my retirement!

And they think it's no big deal that I'll be working instead of traveling Europe?

3. Great slogan. "Seniors, Bush/McCain have stolen your retirement.

Retire them!" Of course, John McCain has a great retirement plan...she wears $3000 suits.

5. Here is one I heard

One guy was with our company a while. They spun him into a division with no medical pension and then forced his retirement. Nice huh? What is with this BS. You're not going to get anything you are promised. Once you have worked they are just going to pull the rug from underneath you. There is no pie in the sky.

6. Is it time for the torches & pitchforks yet? Probably not...

they'll just get away with it, the way they always do. Where's Robespierre when we need him?

7. How did she say it? Was it like, "No biggie, so you'll have to work a few more years?"

Because that will totally suck and she should be burned as a witch.

8. Yeah - like it was no big deal.

She said "if you're nearing the age of 65 and getting ready to retire, you may just have to work a few more years". Oh well! x(

I really think it's time for a class war - EAT THE RICH.
