How does their being able to collect money from another pension have
anything to do with the SS trust fund?
First..there is NO trust fund.
Secondly..I was referring to double or tripple dipping. A Congressman
or millionare will not only recieve their SS stipend, but their
congressional pensions, retirement pensions etc. So while a granny in
Toledo has to make it on $875 a month..her neighbor a retired
government worker takes in a cool $3000 a month. WIth the shortfalls
in SS..I think some form of Needs Testing should be implimented.

Hmm. That sounds like half of, "From each according to his
abilities, to each according to his needs".

Actually its the opposite, with needs testing.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
