    This could be an alternative solution to correct the pending actuarial collapse of social security. As a person in the first half of my working career, it seemed clear that social security wouldn\’t be there for me. The president tried but wasn\’t able to get a reform plan in place, but now the agency is moving forward with an alternative. Declare everyone over 75 dead, and cut off benefits to preserve the solvency of the system.

    Hey, if she is much younger than he and his benefits stop, she should be able to accept the offset for a longer period of time and collect more that both of them would have had he not \”died\”. Guess showing up in person is not proof enough anymore!

    Dear Editor,

    Commenting on the article, I believe that Myron Manders should sew the social security office for thinking he was dead when he is still alive. The social security office should not be playing jokes of this magnitude to an 81 year old world war two veteran, who fought for this country’s freedom. Mr. Manders should sew the social security office for a good 2 million dollars so he could recover from this trauma in the Hawaiian Islands with his wife. It is not fare that after he proves to the social security administration office that he is in fact alive by showing up in person, they still tell him that the records show he is dead. My solution for this problem is that Mr. Manders should get a big fat check and after the social security office recognizes him as a living citizen.

    Thank You,
    Samuel Franco

    And the merits of THAT argument equate with your spelling ability. \”Sew \’em all-that\’s the American way!\” But sometimes life just isn\’t \”fare\”. Sew what?

    Samuel, I think that\’s a brilliant idea. Just get out your best needle and thread, go to the Social Security Office, and SEW\’em. Just get some patches, and stitching and sew, sew, sew. That\’ll show those people. I\’ve got some shirts and jeans that have acquired some holes over the years. If I take them to Mr. Manders, do you think he\’ll SEW them? I LOVE IT!! That was too funny!!
