It ran under Republican and Democratic administrations until Reagan killed it. Jobs were created for skilled employees caught in a recession, and there were programs for the unskilled who needed work experience and vocational training. Everyone on this blog wants to work, so why not be employed to meet some public service need offered either by government or non profits. Better yet* why not subsidize the private sector to hire skilled unemployed workers through tax incentives. Everyone who is able to work should have the opportunity. All of this wasted talent and experience! It is time for a subsidized federal jobs program like the one they had in the 1970s known as the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act.

WOW! It is always good to hear different opinions AND I feel that everyone has Social Security and many other helpful social ideas thanks to the older generations. Why should they loose their benefits because of illegal immigrants and foreigners who just have never contributed to the system? Thank you for your help!

I feel the seniors have needed a new voice, one FOR us. I have long thought that AARP has changed from it”s original purpose. I feel the seniors have needed a new voice, one FOR us.

]]> Comment on Forced to retire, some take Social Security early by Cauthon http://60plus.org/issues/forced-retirement/comment-page-1/#comment-1139 Cauthon Fri, 23 Sep 2011 05:11:46 +0000 http://60plus.org/?page_id=1895#comment-1139 I have a different story. If any of my fellow RWE's (Right Wing Extremists:-) need any further evidence that the government as presently constituted is crazy, here it is. After reading about all these people who are out of work and taking Social Security early to get through the hard times 'round our cabin doors, here I am, still working at the same old job I have had for years, 68 years old, and receiving full Social Security as if I had retired. Every step of the way I asked the people at SS if they were sure this was legal, and they assured me that it was, and apparently they were right. I did not retire and take a different job, I am still in the same place, not retired at all. I can use the extra money, and I may eventually be able to accumulate enough money so I can retire, but it is crazy for the government to give me this money when we are all worried about SS running out of money for people who really are retired. I wish I could have had an option like what Bush tried to I have a different story.

I have been with aarp since I turned 50, that was 22 years ago. I had no other option for years. I never did like most of their practices, especially their liberal, socialist mindset. I would like to know what is my obligation for being a member. How much is membership fees, and etc. I have just begin looking into this 60Plus. I like any conservative views, and hope you would stick with those views. Thanks Duane Tardugno duanetar@yahoo.com Hey, glad y’all came along.
