If retirees can’t swim, DOE lets them drown
That is the message of a letter from Harold F. Cornett to the Oak Ridger on April 17, 2008. Here is an excerpt from his letter: "DOE has been a thorn in the side of the plant workers since the early years of Oak Ridge. They have yet to honor or respect those of us who built and operated the plants through the productive times. Now that we are retired and inadequately compensated, their attitude is if they can't swim then let them drown and good riddance."

Hell, I’ve been treading water for 24 years, it’s DOE that has fogotten how to swim!!!
Even during the Great Depression, I got wage adjustments and in 1936 paid a penny a week into Olld Age Benifits the precursor to Social Security. The pay was low and the adjustments small but I didn’t feel like anyone was screwing me.
DOE = Department of Emasculation
