How many of you expect to need social security benefits? And if there’s no social security when you retire, you haven’t been cheated out of anything since you aren’t “paying in” to social security. You’re paying for the beneficiaries drawing it today, nothing more.
“...to use the agencies of government to assist in the establishment of means to provide sound and adequate protection against the vicissitudes of modern life -- in other words, social insurance.”

Will you also turn in the pilots who apply for unemployment that get furloughed? Can you cite a reference that means tests unemployment payments?

I look at it this way. I've been working and paying taxes since I was legally old enough to do so.
I've been homeless, I've been out of work, and not once have I seen a f'in dime because I was always getting hit with some technicality. Oftentimes companies claiming layoffs were planned and seasonal, we were temp workers, etc. (they weren't). When I was living in my car, there was no housing assistance.
You bet your behind I'm going to file for unemployment the day furlough pay runs out unless I have another job.
I've paid in for years. This might be the one time I don't get poked with some technicality.

No one except Buck has mentioned anything about furloughees filing for unemployment, and he’s on another planet, so to me no one has suggested it’s improper to file for unemployment when furloughed. It’s the notion of a millionaire filing after turning 65 that I’m taking issue with.

Unemployment is FOR furloughees not for retirees. The means test is common decency.

So, your issue is with people being successful?
