I forgot to mention that it's impossible to retire. My mother would get 2k a month in Medicaid and pension if she retired. After Federal Taxes that's 18k a year. Then there's local taxes which are 6k a year. She would be left with 12k a year which is impossible to live on. She's going 67 and will never retire. No wonder why there aren't enough jobs for the youth.
