Goldman Sachs' CEO LLLoyd Blankfein does math



The extremely wealthy person says, "Social security wasn't devised to be a system that supported you for a 30 year retirement after a 25 year career. So there will be certain things, you know, the retirement age has to be changed...".

So, he believes a wage earner only works for 25 years before retiring at 65?

I guess that might often be true given the job market he has fostered.

And then, everyone apparently lives to be 95?

This moron EARNED his money?

He makes me think of the old time radio show featuring the character Lamont Cranston - AKA "The Shadow":
"What evil lurks in the heart of men? The Shadow knows.

So do we Mr Blankfein. So do we.

Or is 40 the new 18?

To answer your question: This moron EARNED his money?

No, he stole it from your savings and then went on a gambling spree in his own casino where the games are all rigged.

An unwary reader could get the impression that DUers are inhospitable to innumerate sociopaths.
