From an email......
John Boehner, the Republican Leader in the House of Representatives, believes that Congress should raise the retirement age to 70 (for those who will not retire for another 20 years) and cut Social Security so that we can finance the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Boehner told a reporter that he thinks we should cut Social Security to pay for war. And later in the day, several other Republicans came out and agreed with him.
The scary thing is: The way things are looking, Republicans could actually win enough seats this fall to put them in charge and make that vision a reality.
So we have to send a clear message to representatives in both parties and the media: If they plan on raising the retirement age to 70 next year, we're going to make sure they're out of work come November.
Link to CBS news story about this.
AND! Since you're reading this you obviously don't have enough to do so I found some more reading for you. Dickipedia. The wiki of dicks. And Boehner is already there. If you get through Boehner's roast go to the 'main page' for lots more.

I was a little concerned just what I'd find when I clicked on that title link!
Boehner is an asshole. On behalf of the State of Ohio, I apologize. Cheers Mike!!
yup he is an asshole
Boehner is a complete goofball.
But, I'm not totally opposed to raising the retirement age if there will be other things included. If that's ALL they want to do then screw them.
Also, it should be raised for everyone under 40, not under 45. Cause I'm 42. LOL
D - What? Would I put out a post that ....... yes I would.
MM - I didn't even realize it was your fault the USA has a Boehner. Had I only known. Had I only paid more attention....
RW - And he has friends of like mind.
J - So instead of 20 years it should be 23 years x months y days and z minutes?
