Social Security will be drained by 2037

[Duff Miver]

What a tempest in a teapot. The Limbaugh/Palin/Beck crowd is doing their usual "The Sky is Falling" routine.

They never let the facts confuse them.

Social Security can pay all benefits with no changes at all for another 26 years. If nothing at all is done in the meantime, benefits can still be paid at 78% of present rates forever after 26 years.

However to avoid any cuts at all 26 years down the road, only tiny changes are required if we do them now.

Any one of the following fixes the problem forever.

Increase present withholding by 1% for employee and 1% for employer.

or

Increase retirement age by one year starting five years from now.

or

Means test retirement benefits. Millionaires get half payments, billionaires get none.

Then there are the idiots who claim Social Security is already insolvent because the funds are invested in US Treasury bonds. Where do these donkeys think the SS funds should be - under someones mattress? Invested in Thai Baht? Lehman Bros or Enron stock? Kept safe by Bernie Madof?

:facepalm:

T-bonds are the safest investment on earth.

Why couldn't we just privatize it like the Bush dick lickers wanted? As Wall Sheet pulled their cunning ways back in 08 all the money could have been stolen. SS was created so older people had a retirement and didn't need their kids taking care of them the rest of their live's. Only some redneck hick or an asshole like Weasel would have a problem with that. This program paid for itself until politicians couldn't leave their hands off it. You know those politicians who start wars of choice. Funny how these neo-con thinkers have no problem spending for anything a foriegner needs. Weasel calling anyone anti american is like Raymond calling someone a racist. Gore wanted a lock box on it but the righties said no cause u couldn't get a chance to steal it that way.

---and the liberals doing normal routine--

no prob--charge it

-on more serious note go back and ask who ever gave you these facts how they know what future employment rates will be--and what pay scale will be--as they would have to know to remotely assume any of above-
and the 26 years is IOU's--the gov already spent those funds collected on something else--seriously

Then when he draws a blank on that--ask him about the welfare bill --since they pay no taxes

--cause those packin the the snn and medicare ball also have to pack them and as noted previously we are about to have more collecting than paying.

Obama Added More to National Debt in First 19 Months Than All Presidents from Washington Through Reagan Combined, Says Gov?t Data --and thats just 1st 19 months

---no prob right--just add a $1 here or a year there--and trust us the ballooning debt is strengthening our currency.

--another "minor point" interest on national debt was 414 billion for 2010--and that's at meager interest rate.

--no prob--the sky is falling--right?

So you really suppose anyone can understand that disjointed load of gibberish you posted?

Save your mouth, money and time, doggie. Bend over. You're about to get a lesson in copyright infringement.

Clemenza: Oh, doggie? You won't see him no more.

 

[Trench]

this ought to warm the cockles of trampled`s little anti-american heart.....

that`s why you see so many younger indoctinees in here.... "useful idiots"...critical thinking nowhere to be found...they are extensions of their ex-hippie/left wing teachers and professors...

I'd venture to guess that Tramp does more critical thinking during the average dump than you do in a year.

Leave him alone Duff. Until u show us u are a man and post ur personal information on the site, a guy like me can't take you seriously. :mj07: One thing is for sure. We still will have to deal with those awful charts he loves to bring out but we sure as hell don't have to hear his tired old line about posting our personal info here to show how real we are. :142smilie

 

[Trench]

greta and nigel don`t make foreign policy for germany and g.b....

just like bin laden and the radical islamists don`t make foreign policy for friendly i
islamic governments....

we`re not there because we forced our way in there...we`re there because they want us there..

people forget that we drove saddam out of kuwait.....liberated and defended muslims in the old yugoslavia....

we`re not hated by everyone...stop reading the nyt`s...

Weezy displaying his powers of "critical thinking".

I haven't seen that kind of critical analysis of the world around us since yesterday, when Sarah Palin said that Sputnik caused the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.

:mj07:

Damn, Trench. I wish I'd have said that. :0054

I think we all pretty much warned him about that. There is nothing about doggie that we couldn't have found out if we wanted to. All for the entire world to see.

 

[Trench]

we should threaten china with the insinuation that we`re giving japan the o.k. to start their own nuclear program,.....

then watch how fast they put their foot on n.korea`s neck...

Weezy... since 1947, the Japanese Constitution (Article 9) has prohibited acts of war by the state or the use of force to settle international disputes.

If you intend to discuss politics with us "leftist academics", you're gonna have to learn a little history or you'll never be able to keep up.

 

[Trench]

Damn, Trench. I wish I'd have said that. :0054

No doubt on a purely subconscious level, I was inspired by your eloquence, Duff. :0008

Scott I really hate to ruin your enjoyment but did you know in my summons it has section called exhibit which is copy of article and exhibit includes your post of article that doesn't even give reference/credit to author or media.

Your article starts out --Justices turn aside another challenge-just in case you think I'm kidding.



Tramp you should never have a prob--with your one liners of profanity/racebaiting and references to ole whitey--however just because you hide doesn't mean they can't find you. All they have to do is subpoena your IP address and easliy find you-
