and who also told us of your LOVE in the Spirit. Col 1:8
When did the Greatest Generation turn into a bunch of Socialist sissies? Here are the facts Mom and Dad, Social InSecurity and Medicare are dying and there is only one way to save them. We have to make some changes for the people paying the taxes and the eventual weaning them off the system. Eventually there will be a program of self directed investments rather than the fraudulent Ponzi scheme they are enslaved to now. Why in Socialist societies the only victims are the receivers, while the payers are never considered victimized? The reason is, when an all powerful gummit wants to maintain their corrupt money train they always exhibit their pitiful starving props to break your heart while they pick your pocket.
For the last 20 years we have heard from the libs how we need to fix these two monstrosities although nobody wants to dare touch the so called Third Rail for being electrocuted politically. Now Paul Ryan has come up with a plan to fix the two programs while not even touching the people on it or close to going onto this broken system. Rather than even taking the slightest peek at the plan the commie libs begin pumping the volts through that Turd Rail in hopes of killing any discussion of reform. Just like every other issue they feign outrage even though they could care less about the people on the program only what they can gain politically by using them as voltage and votes.
Is scaring grandma about losing her SSI a winner or a loser? Are American so indebted to a big gummit program they will reward the Dems for stopping someone with the courage to finally step up or will that strategy backfire? The problem with Groupthink is that it simply agrees with everything it says and doesnt debate whether right or wrong, it is simply a go along to get along. What if God forbid the truth of the Ryan bill gets past the gatekeepers of information say on the internet and find out that SSI and Medicare reform is not only needed it is required and America decides to work together to fix it?
What would happen if the Commie-media was bypassed and wasnt able to divide old against young but both groups actually realized some compromise was going to have to happen and there were going to have to be changes made in these programs and were willing to make those changes. If those two events were to occur and people were to educate themselves on the Ryan plan or hopefully something more aggressive to actually eventually end the entrapment of those two boondoggles, it would be the end of the DNC. They are counting on scaring America into losing their precious entitlements so theyll crawl on their knees for their own money to reach for the table crumbs of corruption. They cant afford for America, the aged or the young to stand up on their feet and tell them to keep their pittance and return our freedom; that would be the end of their senior puppet show.
The dirty little secret seniors, is you have been sold a bill of goods by FDR. It was never meant to take care of you in your golden years, it was meant to secure your vote and enslave you to a big gummit program. Paul Ryan and his bill simply exposes this fraud and the Dems are hoping you stay on the Social Security Express to the Gulag where they can control you for $1500/mo for the rest of your lives. The Express is powered by enslaving the next generation in their Ponzi to make you enslaved to their paychecks. This cycle needs to be broken and replaced by a system of choices and private enterprise which is what reform represents.
Our entire working life we have paid around 15% of our wages to this broken down system. You pay 7.5% and your employer pays 7.5% which should be going to your paycheck. So when you look at your SSI and Medicare deduction, double it and you will see what you are paying for SSI and Medicare. It is actually a bit higher since around $40 is the Great Obama 95% tax cut although they never cut the employer match since you dont see that. Imagine if you had been able to invest in T Bills or the stock market your entire life 15% of your wages and what a nest egg you would have amassed? That is what the Ryan bill is beginning to promote, freedom from theft and corruption.
How do we reach this freedom? First, we have to support reform of this system in any form and especially Paul Ryan. Dont fall for the granny off the cliff routine since she is at the cliff now and doing nothing will slingshot her off. We need to support the plan and laugh at their Turd Rail tactics they are using to destroy this Country while solidifying their power. The second step is anybody who can afford to needs to begin sending their checks back. We need to work til our last breath to free our kids from the Gulag Express and keep ourselves off of their train to their retirement death camp. Who said working your entire life is a bad thing when it builds security and satisfaction. An 80 year old man can make more with his mind than he could at 20 with his back. We need to fight this to our last breath to leave Freedom and Liberty for the next generation and the next.
The Baby Boom generation has an opportunity to be the Generation who saved America as we attack the Omaha beach in our own land. We can destroy the gun emplacements of SSI and Medicare that were built to hold us down rather than lift up. We need to walk to those cliffs of Freedom with Paul Ryan and jump off into Capitalism and Free Markets doing a swan dive into the cool waters of self determination to remove the Wheelchair of Socialism. Yes it is scary to dive into waters you dont know anything about which is exactly what Obama, Pelosi and Reid are counting on that your fear is their power. It is time for our Generation to remove that fear and defiantly stand up from the wheelchair and soar into FREEDOM!
Pray for America
Enough Braying
Private accounts would be much better. The Ponzi scheme did not work.
Anyone here really expect Americans to sit quietly as their SSI and Medicare are cut while simultaneously sending 1.3 billion a year to Pakistan?
First cut the bloated Federal government to the bone. ALL USAID nonsense. ALL NEA nonsense. ALL La Raza funds. ALL Planned Parenthood nonsense. Dissolve Homeland Security, ATF, the Dept of Education, and HHS. Cut it completely to the bone.
THEN show the American people the bone and start talking about SSI and Medicare.
If you do not follow this specific plan of attack...you’ll only get more Democrats.
Americans will not sit still for cuts in programs they have contributed to while wasteful spending continues in DC.
My area has free clinics, with donated time from nurses, doctors once a week, and even a free dental clinic once a year. There is another clinic, which charges based on income for the uninsured. It is used consistently by illegals.
Medicare itself is not the real problem, it is the ‘unlimited use’ of it, for everything known to man as a disease etc. It should be used only as ‘hospital admitted surgeries’ with limits. For example: a stage 4 cancer patient should not get a half million dollars worth of chemotherapy, as they know they will not live anyway, it only provides about a year more of life...it’s unproductive, and that half million dollars could do a lot of cataract surgeries, or remove a lot of gallbladders.
There should be limits on what it can be used for, and we should establish more free clinics, or at least income scaled charges in clinics for things like flu, minor falls, or infections. Abuse has created this mess!
Couldn’t agree more. It all needs to be attacked.
Pray for America
Harassing innocent Americans at airports while trying to cut their Medicare and SS is not a winning strategy either.
Not to worry, the Fuhrer, Pelosi, Reid, and the RAT party will institute Death Panels for one and all. No need for Medicare. Just take a pill ordered by Big Bro and Big Sis and all your worries will be over.
When your number is up. Its up.
No, however most of those who vote democrat and don't know what Pakistan is due to low I.Q. and public education will sit quietly by.
Yikes! I think I’ll go eat worms, then shoot myself.
Socialism is the idea that we each can live at the expense of each other. At least that is the idea. In practice it is always implemented using deadly force because far too many otherwise free people refuse to allow their property to be seized to make socialism work. So socialism is always bloody. But the fact that the peace and love crowd are such strong supporters of socialism should tell you what their idea of “peace and love” is.
Further, anyone who loves God’s Law should easily see how a Christian cannot support socialism because it violates the Commandments that forbid lies, coveting and theft. And with respect to the last two, he should further realize that he does not have authority to seize and redistribute the wealth or possessions of anyone else.
Sadly, this has not stopped some Useful Idiot Christians from seeking “social justice” by using the armed agents of the government to do their dirty work.
Medicare is not economically sustainable exactly because of its socialist structure. It is a program that has the goal of making senior citizens be dependent upon government for their health care. So, of course they will support the party that promises to protect that benefit irrespective of how much damage it otherwise does to the national economy.
Rationing,huh?
Maybe you could volunteer on the neighborhood council that determines that stage 4’s don’t get treated...hey wait...stage 3’s are kinda shaky too.....
Its a slippery slope,my FRiend.
Definitely no to illegals...if we would deport them, that problem would be solved.

Tell the person who wants to live longer that they can pay for it instead of asking someone else to. I have other priorities as do my kids and likely their kids.
“Soooo, you’re a one man death panel. WTF gave you the right to decide someone’s life or death?”
What gives them the right to take from me to pay for anything ?
Why do I (or my kids) have any obligation whatsoever to pony up money so some greedy SOB can cheat the Grim Reaper out of his due for an extra year when they have already lived 75 years or more? I don’t, much like I feel no obligation to pay for one of Eric Holder’s people’s baby mommas or Juanita the Illegal Invader’s healthcare.
I will accept your judgement that I am a cold S.O.B. if you are willing to accept my judgement of you as a big government socialist.
