You make no sense- first you claim SS you earned the SS benefit, then you asked me to cite the case, but now claim you were familiar with it. If that was true, why did you ask me to cite the case?

"Stupidy" definitely sounds like the way it ought to be, if we're co-opting a certain... Um... languistical skillitude here. "Only a Moran wuld bahave with such unbeleivable Stupidy! Your what is wrong with Amerrica!"

... See, fits.

Actually, I knew about Nestor v Fleming, and I know that we don't have a legal, contractual right to claim those benefits. And I know that Congress could take it all away if they want to. And I know that what is legal, or even Constitutional, may or may not be moral.

So why your hostility? Are you just one of those intellectual narcissists who get a nice little limbic tickle from the feeling that you are a wise person among fools?

Nestor vs. fleming- takes about 2 seconds to type it into google

It is even discussed in the SS website which simply proves most people dont bother to research a topic before commenting

Would you please cite the case so that I can research that? When I am wrong about something, I am grateful to whomever corrects my misconception. The ad hominem attack is not necessary.

I rarely say I hate people (in more than the colloquial use of hate that you use for stuff like "yogurt with fruit at the bottom" or "contemporary Adam Sandler movies"), but Mitch McConnell is, truly, one of the most despicable people I can think of. Add him to the list of people who make me think, "YOU are the reason we need a Judgement Day."

Lady MS comes out of RH cast Monday morning; handwritten, fact-filled letter to the editor aimed at Faux freaks will be in USPS snorkel box by Monday 5pm, just ahead of live early voting, 10/25. Have been editing the draft in my head for weeks; local paper usually prints them verbatim. Cannot confront these people face-to-face any longer, as I can barely contain my blind rage...

Are tax cuts enough for the billionaires? Can't we do more for them? When you think about it, every time one of us smurfs takes a breath, we are breathing air that should be reserved for billionaires.
