Once it "trickles down" through the beltway.
Just don't spend it all in one place.

I'd be fine with you guys finally retiring, leaving too many positions to be filled, so my pay goes up.
See? I'm an optimist

But not to worry, there are still those who point out that the fund is fully vested until 2038, or what other ridiculous date they come up with.

Me and my friends never believed we'd see it (I'm now 43). As it is, they keep increasing retirement age, I won't anyway!
One thing I've learned about black folks overall that I admire - they are much more patient in a way than most white folks I know, and more tolerant.
Going to the store with an unnamed older lady, family, was always an experience, as she had a tendency to start complaining loudly about certain n-named folks if the line moved too slowly. In horror, I would watch the black folks while I tried to shut her up (I was young then). The worst was disgust, but mostly a sorrow, a look that stays with you.
If you really want to be friends with a black guy, ask him if you can touch his hair. It happens a lot and they get a little tired of it sometimes

Anyone see the kids taking turns repeating lines of his dream speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial yesterday? It was great.
