Some of my facebook crowd were chiding me for causing Hillary to lose 10,000,000 votes between Barack 2008 and Hillary 2016. I wish.

In response, they forced me to really, logically, explicitly explain age 62, coming in 2022.

From my paternal & maternal grandfathers, through the uncles & siblings & father, there were 8 males and there is only me. A few made it to or past 62 as wrecks from Mad Men era style unhealthy living. Back when a few were still kicking, in 1986, my congress critter Speaker of the House Tip O'Neil made a huge bargain with Ronnie Raygun to extend the retirement of those my age and younger, all so Wall Street could rip off the public even more. Since I was just a cook in a Boston hotel, I was too uneducated to understand all the fancy explanations from all the Ivy'd excuse makers of the WAPO & NYT & ... whatever. I'm kinda broken record on my perception of that particular sell out.

Here is what I thought about my prospects for Social Security under Don or Hill:

Don:
IF / when Don makes nice with some subset of the repuke establishment for who the hells knows what Don is up to, then my Social Security will be bundled off to the highest bidder / best sounding thief. (see the last 30++ years of Repuke governance.) Otherwise, Melania or some family member will be running some crooked racket outta off shore banks. I get to retire on catfood.

Hill:
As a function of favors owed and asses kissed, some cliques of well connected yuppie scum will be in charge of pilfering my Social Security so all kinds of Kennedy School of Government / Think Tank thieves can live large "managing" community money for the benefit of thieving yuppie scum. I get to retire on catfood.

Oh yeah - I also had insight about Medicare!

My health security is a function of what I can get from the Dollar Store: band aids which don't stick too good, almost expired aspirin, watered down rubbing alcohol.
