to borrow a phrase... are we overpaying grandpa?

[curmugeon]

This New York Times artlcle says so... so watch for this to be the first salvo in a war to cut 'entitlements' such as Medicare and Social Security.... am I, as a senior being overpaid... I don't think so. I paid into the system since I was 16 years old, and to top that, my good planning resulted in a 'penalty' of $359 a month reduction in my Social Security. I'm now living with a 41% reduction in my income.... and I'm still paying taxes.
