That’s why I call it Social Insecurity.

bob dope (r-kansas) and other rinos helped

the socialist spend the social security surplus.

The United States government has enough in property, real estate, mineral wealth, offshore oil leases and such items to BACK Social Security if need be.

If they don't pay in cash I'll take a good location in the main lobby of almost any NPS lodge at Grand Canyon National Park.

Thanks for posting this.

"In fact, the Supreme Court decided in 1960 that recipients have no right to payments, no matter how many years they have paid into the system. The government can decide to decrease − or stop − the payments at its sole discretion. How’s that for “guaranteed”?" How the government got away with declaring they could outright steal from you and didn't have to repay a penny is beyond me.

Pay up suckers, we will be dead before the checks stop!

Yes, not only did Obama admit that all our Social Security contributions are NOT in a lockbox, he said he couldn’t pay Social Security unless the limit on his credit card was upped!

[oldbrowser]

Payments are “guaranteed,” but only so long as (1) enough new workers join the workforce; (2) enough money can be raised by taxes or borrowing to cover the payments; and (3) the president feels it is to his political advantage to make the payments, rather than to withhold them and blame Republicans.

Then it is not guaranteed is it?

Doesn’t SS go to new immigrants, with less work required for a full payout? Also, can’t an immigrant bring in family members who are elderly, and get coverage?

If we kept to the original plan of an individual worker building up a lockbox fund plus interest, we would not be here. “Someone” turned it into an “entitlement” scam.

Lies, lies, lies . . the ends justify the means . . where have we heard THAT before? This is NOT a socialist state; it is a Constitutional republic.

Raise the retirement age NOW. People are living longer and need to keep on going for a while longer. Things were different when they started SS; people’s life spans were shorter. - If a person CAN pay their own medical bills, let them do it for as long as they are able; the doctor’s offices will give them a self-pay discount. My Medicare card kicks in this month; and I can pay my own.

And then take it a step further and cut ALL entitlements. People gotta grow up; especially lawmakers and those latched onto the government sugar tit.

They stole our money. Now they MUST pay. No more salaries, and put them behind bars.

What a bunch of theives we have fore represetatives. All but 60 must go.

B_stards!

We have paid more into SS than it costs since 1983, to “prepare” for the baby boom generation.

That money was used to buy government bonds.

So, the Federal government took regular tax revenue and spent it; then they spent the SS income over and above costs for whatever they wanted, but that money was “guaranteeed” by a government issued bond.

So instead of keeping the SS over and above money separate from the general tax revenues, the two income streeams were merged and spent.

Now the ogvernemtn can only reddem the SS bonds by doing what? Collecting taxes from the present generation and future generations to pay off the bonds and give the money to SS.

So we paid the SS taxes once for these future benefits, since 1983.

Now, we have be taxed a SECOND time to pay off the bonds, for benefits we already paid for.

So we pay for TWO TIMES for the SAME BENEFIT.

Think about that, and ask why shouldn’t Congress be in jail?

Do you think America will ever figured out they have been looted?
