“People working today need to plan.....” I heard this almost from the day I started in the work force & never doubted it. However,after about so many years in the work force (as a skilled tradesman)I realized there wasn’t much hope for this & paying the bills at the same time. I suspect there are many in this position through no fault of their own.
That's why the government is talking about reducing benefits, they know that they don't have to pay out on the Ponzi scheme.
their idea of "saving" social security once every 10 years or so is just for show. When all they are going to do is raise taxes and cut benefits.
They didn’t invest the Social Security money .. it was supposed to have been put into a Trust Fund, and saved for those who retired .. PERIOD! It was for awhile .. but all the Trust Fund contains today are I.O.U.’s. And now, the free ride is going to end possibly by the end of 2016 - instead of 2034.
People can argue that’s not true .. but I’ve spoken one-on-one with people who have seen the drawer filled with the IOU documents. So, I will not discuss this anymore .. because all the liberals have descended upon me, trying to erase that information.
I know what I know .. and you’ll never convince me otherwise.
And .. in case you’re interested .. FICA IS NOT SOCIAL SECURITY.
Amen.
“all the Trust Fund contains today are I.O.U.’s”
It’s worse than that: all the Trust Fund contains today are demands for payments for loans. Loans made to support welfare.
Ah yes, the magic Trust Fund delusion.
The only instrument for Government to invest in is and always has been Treasury Bills. The cash simply is transformed into Public Debt.
The beauty in this Ponzi scheme is its reliance on fools like you who think it can somehow be fixed. If you want to convert it to a private system then say so. If not, then shut up and take what your Government masters deign to give you.
Wow!
Who the hell are you to tell me to “shut up”.
You’re the one who’s THE LIAR .. and we’ve seen your type before on these threads.
You’ll never win .. because WE KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME.
ROTFLMAO
“9% of people won’t forward this. “
Basically the same as saying “this information is fabricated”.
And they can see you from orbit. No, you can’t hide.
True enough, but that can be used to our advantage. “They” can’t do much in secret either. So, as I believe Alexander S. proposed, when the enemy arrives at your door, you do your level best to see no one returns to the office. There are more of “us” than “them”, so ultimately those willing to make the sacrifice will ensure that sooner rather than later “they” run out of agents to harass the people.
