Z, > What are you going to do? Suddenly take away retirement benefits from people who are too old to work?

Let's say that Intel decided to offer me 90% of my salary from when I retire to the day I die. I say, "Sure, why not?" then proceed to spend the money that I should have saved up toward retirement.

Then I retire, but Intel isn't the strong Dow component it used to be. In fact, Intel is bleeding money by the billions because among other things they are obligated to pay my benefits.

What do you do? Bail Intel out, or let Intel fail? Remember, if you let Intel fail, YOU are taking away my retirement benefits.

Realize that Tenchu defended the insurance companies giving my parents the runaround because she was sick and became expensive.

Because, you know, they weren't responsible that she got sick. Totally ignoring the fact that they didn't have any problem taking that premium from my parents when she wasn't sick with the promise they would pay.
