Can't go wrong w/ a program like that. And sure to be popular w/ Tea Party types. If they're so much better off than the rest of us, they won't mind a little socialism/sharing, will they? As long as the money is going to killing the Other, rather than feeding or housing "American" Others.Boehner had praise, however, for Obama's troop surge in Afghanistan and stepped-up drone attacks in Pakistan. He declined to list any benchmarks he has for measuring progress in the nine-year war, at a time of increasing violence and Obama's replacement of Gen. Stanley McChrystal with Gen. David Petraeus.
Ensuring there's enough money to pay for the war will require reforming the country's entitlement system, Boehner said. He said he'd favor increasing the Social Security retirement age to 70 for people who have at least 20 years until retirement, tying cost-of-living increases to the consumer price index rather than wage inflation and limiting payments to those who need them.
"We need to look at the American people and explain to them that we're broke," Boehner said. "If you have substantial non-Social Security income while you're retired, why are we paying you at a time when we're broke? We just need to be honest with people."

At least we know now about War, What is it good for, i.e. providing an excuse to cut those social services that would otherwise be affordable.
You Americans have to ask yourselves which you would rather have, old people or a perpetual occupation in Afghanistan, because you can't afford both. Not without raising taxes anyway.

Hah! Not in America. We can have it all!
Phrasing it as guns & "old people" instead of guns & "butter" will make a few hundred more Yanks notice, but it won't matter.
