Under President Obama, Americans are living longer

6.5 million Americans are over 112 years old. I know Certain People will focus on the small amount of inevitable fraud, but I'm thrilled that a POTUS is finally extending the lives of the people he leads.

You think Latrinestorm has a third account?!

Soon he can form his own political party.

Oh wait I had it wrong, ClydeR pretends to be conservative, Delcry pretends to be liberal, and Dryelc... I don't remember. This one is Tgo I think.

[Delcry]

I'm not "anti" anything, the exact opposite.

You can't have Progress without being Pro.

There is only one viable political party in this country (for now). The Republican'ts were decimated in 2008 when we ushered in Hope and Change and haven't done a thing since. They are the modern day Whig Party that will soon be dissolved to the history books.

Oh sure, it's all Obama's doing.

Not.

Yeah I was taken a bit aback. How can lifespans be attributed to one person's eight year stint? Not to say the president is not effectual, but in regard to longevity as a people? I don't really understand, sorry.

75 years ago, Asians were like 90%+ under 5'5. Asians in the latest generation are growing over 6' commonly now. Nutrition matters a lot!

No wonder why healthcare costs just keep going up and up.

(Really) old people are expensive as fark to care for.

The article doesn't say whether or not these 6.5 million SS accounts are still being paid out or not. How does the SSA know whether or not to stop sending out checks? Do they expect the next of kin to contact them?

Whole thing is a fucking cluster.

Whole thing is a fucking cluster.

I remember in college, there was a census report that a kid designed *for his geopolitics class* and one of the questions was "Do you have a family member who can collect social security?" and the followup was "If yes, is it still being collected?" And the followup to that was "If yes, is the family member deceased?"

Like 95% of people that answered all three questions said yes to the third question. Nobody fucking checks on this shit. Ever. You have to do something MONUMENTALLY stupid for them to give a fuck enough to send someone out to confirm shit like that.

It's like a stupider version of the IRS.

Don't do dumb shit, and nobody cares about you.

I doubt anyone has ever been audited from Gemstone over their cash flow from the game.

Maybe Tsin. Because Aston Martins, yo.

Obama certainly can't take credit for it. Under his tenure, health care spending keeps curving downward.


Estimates for government health care spending keep coming down.

A few months, ago, we wrote about how a slowing trend in Medicare spending had led federal budget forecasters to make drastic reductions in their estimates of the program’s costs. On Monday, they made similar cuts in their forecast of what the federal government will spend on private insurance premiums.

The revisions reflect growing evidence that health care spending in the country — which has traditionally grown much more quickly than the overall economy — is entering a new, more moderate era. It is still rising, but not very much any more.

Your classmates were lying.

Yes, they expect the heir to contact them.

Failing to contact Social Security would work only if somebody died unexpectedly at home and was never buried. If you die at a hospital or nursing home or at home under hospice care or if you are buried or cremated by a funeral home, then the Social Security people will hear about it in a few months. Your heirs will have to give back any money Social Security sent to you in that time.

But if you die at home unexpectedly and get taxidermied, then CHA-CHING! Just don't expect any benefit that requires a death certificate, like life insurance.
