The Orange Boner gets his hand slapped
According to the arcane world of DC symbolism, the call for a hike in the retirement age by the O Boner was not well received.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) walked back his prior remarks that Social Security benefits should be cut by raising the retirement age, but added that the idea still "ought to be on the table."The Speaker has not yet given up hope that the Republican/Teabaggers can spout enough lies to confuse the Foxsuckers into supporting this evil idea. The Republican/Teabaggers have great faith in their ability to steal your rice bowl.
"I made a mistake when I did that because I think having the conversation about how big the problem is is the first step," Boehner told CNN's Parker/Spitzer Wednesday night. "And once the American people understand how big the problem is, then you can begin to outline an array of possible solutions."
Boehner, the most powerful Republican in Washington, made news last summer when he championed raising the retirement age from 65 to 70 for workers not retiring for another 20 years.
