Cheney Urges Americans to Save More

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney urged Americans Thursday to do a better job of saving and challenged policymakers to strengthen pensions and fix Social Security to help people in their golden years.

"The American dream begins with saving money and that should begin on the very first day of work," Cheney told a conference here exploring how to encourage people to boost savings and be better prepared for retirement.

Too often, workers are living paycheck to paycheck and are not saving sufficiently, Cheney said.

1. Cheney, we agree on something. Too bad your saying this because
we're on the verge of an economic meltdown which you're trying to stave off for a few more months.

Gee, asshole, do you think LOW WAGES might be the problem? Do you think having all the good jobs sent offhsore by your corporate pals might be the problem? Have you ever considered what it means to be dependent on a paycheck and not have a trust fund and/or a fat stock portfolio backing you up? Do you have a clue in the world about needing every dime to put a roof over your head and feed your kids and still falling behind every month?

You fucking prick. I want every dime pried from your cold, dead hands* and redistributed to the people your pals stole it from: the working people of this country.

*Something that can be accomplished in his present state of animation, think about it.

5. How about starting by raising the minimum wage to the poverty level?

Restoring the safety net of Medicaid and medicare. And bring back all those jobs you out sourced. Nationalize the Health care in this country with the money we would save by not blowing the national treasury on war toys & killing people!

6. Nice. F**k you, Dick!
I would love to be able to save for retirement, but I spent 16 months unemployed and was basically forced to take a job making almost half of what I had been thanks to the f**ked up economy you asshats have created for us.
