Why I am greatful that Hawaii is a "welfare state"
UKJ seems to be completely ignorant of the fact that most "BBs" as she calls us, are still working and are far from being old enough to collect SS. The first of the boomers just started reaching the common retirement age of 67 this year, so "rich" baby boomer retires taking social security are not the problem she imagines. Those of us born at the tail end of the boom have as much as 20 years until we retire, if we ever can. This is the generation born between 1947 and 1964, the bulk of that generation are still working, and still paying the taxes that pay for the public University she attends, and roads she drives to Wal-mart on, and the schools her children attend.

It amazes me that someone who claims to be working on her 3rd college degree doesn't even understand that a generation born between 1947 and 1964 are not all retired yet. It makes wonder what field her degrees were in.
