This is great! Now they can hire more people which will in turn create demand for more consumer goods... manufactured in other countries. And the people hired will be mercenaries who will gain at the expense of the people enlisted in the armed forces... pretty laaame...
Infohawk, you forgot to mention the returns to Haliburton stockholders. My dad bought a lot of Haliburton stock a couple years ago and its paid off well.
Prolly on vacations and golfing. We both play a lot, kinda runs in the family I suppose. I've grown a lot in the past couple years and I'm better than he is now, he really doesn't like that too much.
Speaking of golf, my asshole roomate says golfers are all stupid Republicans. Is that a common liberal belief?

That's nice. Glad to hear your dad is making out OK.
The US taxpayers paid for blowing up Iraq, now we're paying for rebuilding it. Little wonder the stock is doing well since they've overbilled us for a few billion for services they never provided.
You should be proud.
So basically the money will stream out of America. Yup, this is great for the American economy. Shouldn't your dad keep working btw?
Not necessarily. I don't know exactly what he really plans to do, and even if he does go on vacation somewhere, American airliners will make money.
He's planned for retirement between the ages of 55-60. If more Americans had the foresight to do the same, we wouldn't be so dependent on this useless social security program that saps a huge chunk out of my paycheck every 2 weeks. What a ripoff, really, I doubt I'll get anything in 50 years.
Old people live beyond their useful lifespan and keep sapping SS and medical/health care funds.
It sounds like your dad is reaching the end of his useful life. It seems like under your ideology, since he is no longer working, he deserves no more rights or protections... that's just what it seems like after hearing about your ideology.
He's not retired, and even when he is, he'll continue to put money back into society. My issue is with the people who maintain sedentary, at home lifestyles and just leech off medicare and SS. When I say old people, I generally mean 80+, though smokers for example can have their health degrade quicker than that.
You're complaining? How is my generation supposed to feel?
The problem is LordT's dad needs his payout. Maybe since he was so successful with his investments he can forego his SS? I mean some of us have to forego flu shots right? This is a time of sacrifice.
No question he does. He also thinks that poor children are welfare brats and that non-american lives don't matter. What else? America can never be wrong. Oh, and I think he wants to be a doctor... Geriatrics maybe? In the Ashcroft Euthenizing Department...
Just the youth. I think its sad how politicians spend so much time pandering to the elderly simply because they are the group that votes en masse. If only 18-30 year olds would vote more. The government should be investing more money in our countries' future and less in its past.
He might. I can ask him when he turns 65.
Maybe it's just that 18-30 year olds aren't stupid, that they know they will grow older too, and that they don't want to treat old people like crap like you do?
How is asking the elderly to take responsibility for their own lives "treating them like crap"? If they are unable to, hopefully they were good parents and raised successful children who can take care of them. It should not fall on the public to do so.
yup.
More or less. We have some differences, for example, I don't think he believes in pot legalization, prolly because he doesn't smoke it.
BTW, you have yet to respond to some of my points earlier in the thread.
