The issue of retirement from Boeing comes down to a fixed income and uncertain economy driven by the Politicians. 35 years with Boeing provides a small pension, then the Politicians are currently trying to figure how to reduce SS for people recieving pensions, the Fed's are holding Interest down, so what savings you have are not earning anything, the stock market is in shambles, up one day down the next, then add Obama care and what tax liabilties come with that, you may get Medicare, but the supplemental policy will be going up. You might as well die on the job, with full wages. There are no incentives to retire to poverty.

So, you believe in paying twice for the same thing, what a novel concept. The advertisers pay to have you watch their commercials, then you pay again to watch them, Nothing free about that.

Cantwell is so happy with her Obamacare, she will bring it to Boeing, we are already seeing the Boeing Company reducing our Insurance to match Obamacare. Does she even listen to the public?

Boeing over the years has lost a the vision of what is a good worker, the management spends so much time patting each other on the back and promoting themselves, they have forgotten what real worker's look like. Most in the management ranks were promoted because they were unsuitable as worker's. There is no such thing as a promotion system, if you work hard, they will give you more work. They have now started picking on the salary worker's, they expect them to hand over their personal health information to some third party or they will raise your heath Insurance cost, nothing like extortion to make your day. With your education I would suggest you get with one of the real fine company's.

Why should I pay to watch commercials? The crap on TV now really is not fit to be watched, who dreams up this garbage. We now have all these semi-reality shows, how many Repro groups, how many Pawn shows, you get the picture. I like something with substance, without endless commercials.

Here lies a problem, $6200 a year for Health Insurance is unbelievable, this is almost close to the amount I pay in taxes. Where is the actual incentive to lower medical cost. Other countries say the reason their cost are so low, is they only do what is medically necessary. We have hospitals loaded with Millions of dollars worth of equipment that is is either rarely used or never used. All this jee whiz stuff, still has not helped us out. Its easy to say people and their life styles cause this, but it is harder for people to focus on the real problem, Hospitals building like there is no tomorrow and expanding. Than you have a simple thing like a $15 aspirin, did you know how many checks and verifications are place to dispense a simple aspirin, you have people checking the checker, it could go through 4 hands before they give it too you. People without insurance are only a small part of the equation.

Now that we will have Universal Heathcare, watch the cost go through the ceiling, hospitals will charge more, insurance companies will charge more and special care will be rationed. They promised lower car insurance through mandatory requirements, hows that rebate working for you.

They are already working on an angle to pay you less Social Security, if you have a pension, that way you can be brought down to where everyone else is, I love this Socialism. This way the Politicians can live in the style they are accustom too.

A diuretic is not a enhancement drug, it will not make you go faster. Even Midol has a diuretic. Who are these Clowns, maybe they are missing their call in life, the circus.

We so much of these Anti-American groups popping up here in the US, even our own Government. Next thing you know they will be banning the US flag, oh they already have in Homeowner Associations and Apartments. To declare Armstrong as a doper without any proof has now become the American Way (Comrades).
