Comments (11)

Unbelievable!

$100M+, eight houses, a private jet...and SSI?

You gotta be fucking kidding me. (Apologies for my French...but wow. Just wow.)

Sorry pet peeve, for the record:
SSI (Supplemental Security Income)is a program for indigent retirees and disabled is is paid for out of general revenue. There are few retirees still on SSI.

OASDI is the Old Age and Survivors, and Disability Insurance that you become eligible by working and paying payroll taxes for a sufficient period of time. The benefits, which are considerably higher than SSI benefits, are paid out of the payroll tax and the OASDI Trust Funds.

McCain is getting the latter.

"It's an absolute disgrace!"

Typical republican...

**Makes me numb. Fucker's insane.

We need to send this to Drudge and all MSM, this is beyond sad. It is not mandatory that you apply for and accept your SS benefits. This is outrageous.

After the speech about how socal security was a disgrase, McCain should have shouted:

"I drink your, Milkshake! I drink it up!"

He earned it. Let the old geezer keep it. Do you people realize that the McCain's almost lost a home because they could not afford to pay their property taxes on it.

Some of you people are very heartless, and show no empathy toward the plight of struggling billionaires.

Is this Maverickish or just plain Prickish? I can't wait for his answer to this one.

Not gonna call 'm a bastid... too obvious.
