ELIMINATE SOCIAL SECURITY!!

[Duff Miver]

OK, ignorant one, you said this:

And, as insurance always does, it pays out, based not on how much you have paid in, but on the insured amount. See whether you can put your pea-brain in gear to follow a simple example.

Which clearly is wrong in this case, as I said this:

Many people (even stupid ones like Muffy) wonder how their benefit is figured. Social Security benefits are based on your lifetime earnings. Your actual earnings are adjusted or "indexed" to account for changes in average wages since the year the earnings were received.

So, clearly you are wrong - benefits ARE tied to career earnings and how much you pay in.

So, who is the ignorant one?

I'll spell it for you... M U F F Y

See whether you can get a third-grader to help you understand how SS insurance works, dipshit.

Social Security is insurance which pays a defined benefit if you qualify based on a minimum of 20 credits, which amounts to only about $45K in earned income over a lifetime.

Social Security pays out when you reach retirement age, or are disabled, or widowed, or a minor orphan.

If you meet none of those requirements, you get nothing, just like insurance.

Just like insurance, some pay in more than they receive, some receive more than they pay in. It's called, just as it is in insurance, "spreading the risk".

That's why it's called "old age and survivors insurance".

Now go away, Maggot. You're not only stupid, even worse, you're boring.

Hey Rusty - Rodgers did have a great year, no doubt. Proved a lot of doubters wrong, including me. He had a history of being brittle, but played tough this year and only missed 1.5 games due to a concussion (which is 1.5 more than Favre missed his whole career in GB, but that is besides the point).

My point is keeping Favre is, he was the guy who resurrected the franchise in the 90's - to make it what it is today. If there was no Favre, there would have been no Super Bowl this year.

He holds every major passing record in the history of the NFL. He was won 3 MVP's. Wanna bet that Rodgers doesn't do either of those? I'll take that bet any day of the week.

You just don't throw a guy like that to the curb. You don't see the Yankees doing it to Jeter or Mariano, you didn't see the Brewers do that to Robin Yount or the Royals to George Brett.

I remember how Unitas (to SD) and Joe Namath (to LA) were treated late in their careers and it was just shameful to go out like that. I'm not sure what GB could have done to handle this better truthfully, but to throw out the best QB (at least records wise) in the history of the game was shameful.

At least Favre got revenge on the Packers 2 years ago, smoking them both times and taking the Vikes to the NFC championship game. But 'ole Brett should have retired then.

So yes, today, no doubt Rodgers is better, and was the primary driver to the Super Bowl for the Packers. I'm not sure he was better when Favre was let go though - Favre had a better year 2 years ago than Rodgers. And Rodgers lost us his first playoff game in AZ.

Let's just hope Rodgers can be there every game going forward and not be missing games. That is one thing he CAN learn from Favre - toughness.

SO, long story short - it sure worked out for the Packers in 2010 - so you were right in that regard.

Farve probably wore out his welcome a long time ago and started most games esp.last yr. to extend the streak of playing consecutive games played.

To state that the Pack would of not won last year if not for Farve ,well that's just an ignorant statement,really.

Sports like the working world is a business just ask Kendrick Perkins.I sure you will respond with,well an ignorant response.

I'm guessing you didn't read Ryan's proposal and just listened to Democratic rhetoric. If you are 56, NOTHING changes for you in terms of Medicare. Nothing.
Instead of listening to the sounds bites of the Dems, you need to find the truth. It has been reported many times that Ryan's proposal will not affect anyone that is 55 or over.

I say this isn?t a promise Ryan can keep. In 2022, newly-eligible beneficiries would have to enroll in a private plan, but existing beneficiaries (those who are over 55 today) would also have the option of leaving traditional Medicare. As Ryan?s budget put it, ?While there would be no disruptions in the current Medicare fee-for-service program for those currently enrolled or becoming eligible in the next ten years, all seniors would have the choice to opt into the new Medicare program once it begins in 2022. No senior would be forced to stay in the old program.?

That opens up the possibilities of private plans trying to lure away the healthiest beneficiaries (as is currently the case in Medicare Advantage) and of health care providers abandoning traditional Medicare patients for the higher reimbursement rates of private insurers. For chronically ill seniors who are more likely to remain in fee-for-service Medicare, this means two things: higher costs (as the healthier beneficiaries exit the risk pool) and fewer doctors.
