"And the remaining few with pensions (primarily public employees)and employer paid health care have no idea how lucky they are."

Yes, we are lucky and yes we appreciate it and no we don't quite understand how there are billions and billions available for Wall Street high-rollers, lots of "tax-relief" for those very same types, but not a hell of a lot left in the pot for any of the others that you mentioned.

Life may be unfair, but the present distribution of income and benefits in the US is well past unfair: it is totally gamed by the big money which has purchased Congress.
