Pope Francis: A nation which mistreats its elderly, is a nation without a future

2. As a jazz fan, I enjoyed it immensely.

And no doubt about it: Francis had Macri's "pension reform" bill currently making its way through the House (it already passed the Senate) in mind when he made this.

The bill, as you can imagine, is strongly supported by the IMF. "It'll save public coffers $5 billion a year," they claim.

What they neglect to mention is that Macri is giving most of that back to employers in the form of a payroll tax cut. More trickle-down.

The termination of the Remediar program was the worst though. I'd like to see his STD-ridden, 87 year-old father go without.

Thanks again for the feedback, Judi. Thank goodness we have AARP to go to bat for our seniors here in the U.S. (Argentina, with its 7 million retirees, has no such advocacy group - nothing on AARP's scale anyway).
