Thanks Maggie. I too, hope reversing GPO and WEP is successful, but I doubt it will help me. I'm already 91 rapidly approaching 92 and no one in m,y extended family has made it more than a month or two beyond 95 so Callie and I will not be around to see it. But there are numerous younger teachers and government retirees who could use the help, and deserve it.

I have to wonder - considering too many teachers that dont really make the big bucks - is the government afraid they will actually enjoy their retirement? And then you look at the difficulty in making the "1%" pay THEIR taxes - it sure does make clear who the people are they are looking out for AND the ones they are not! By government, I mean Congress & Senate.

You never know, Fay. My mom lived to almost 103. Not something I aspire to.
Me neither! 95 would be my limit!
