Whoopee!

I got an interesting letter in the mail today from the friendly federal government.

Apparently, I have now collected enough credits to be eligible for Social Security. I've apparently got enough credits as of this year to receive retirement benefits.

Of course, it won't matter worth a damn because when I do retire at 65 (assuming I work until then) there won't be any money left - since the fund is supposed to be empty in 2040 (based on the message on the front page) and I won't turn 65 until 2042.

Yippee.

I just found it funny.
