McCain is so old, he can earn whatever he likes and collect. After a
certain age, you can earn whatever you can and not lose benefits.
70. And if you do not collect until 70, you get more for each year you did
not collect.- Hide quoted text -

If anyone paid the price and deserves a share, it's McCain. He's not
some "I got a paper cut and I want to go home" idiot. He's the real
deal... a real American.

I would think he'd be qualified for a military pension because of years
of military service, no? I wonder what his SS benefit is based upon?
Certainly not private sector work.

It's just incongruous for McCain to whine about Social Security and to
collect SS benefits.
