Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.
Master of the obvious.
10-15 years from now, people will look back to 2005 and see what President Bush was talking about in reference to SS and wonder how both the demonRATs and weak kneed pubbies didn't respond with a positive plan. Shame on the RATs and the pubbies have mouse nuts.
Real quick question.........If you are disabled, and on s.s., why does the government pay for your kids to go to college?
My parents told me 30 years ago not to expect SS to be there when I retired. Started an IRA at the age of 16 and still going strong. A shame that more people do not understand that the future is up to them.
Sorry, I don't see the problem.
All the feds have to do is raise pay roll taxes.

Just another massive failure of Washington to properly manage the country and work FOR THE PEOPLE -- just add it to the list of massive spending and taxation, runaway immigration and no border security, the realities of ABLE DANGER, the vile criminality and damage of the Clinton regime, 9/11, etc, etc, etc.
Happy New Year Washington!!!
I'm really happy with the superannuation system we have in Australia. I like the idea that by the time I retire, I will have enough money saved/invested not to have to rely on the government.
Plus the $800 billion + (and growing) in savings and investments does the economy good too.
But Juan Williams on Fox Sunday News just yesterday said that one of the big mistakes of 2005 was President Bush's wasting his time on SS reform. /sarcasm
Underfunding my arse!
It's the diverting of funds to other political endeavors NOT underfunding!
Keep repeating as necessary.....
They should have stuck to just "regulating" the retirement of those who pay for and depend upon their own hard earned efforts for a content filled retirement instead of taking control of it and using those funds as they deem necessary as politicians.
Bush caved way too early on this...

10-15 years from now people will look back and think that juan williams played shortstop for the Washington {what was the name of the baseball team that started in 2005 through 2009?}.
Williams is such a left wing nut, that if the fax at the dnc ever breaks, he won't have a thought in his empty head.
Bush didn't cave. How about holding the Weak Kneed Squishy 7 Senate RINOS and the Democrat Senators accountable for THEIR actions for a change? I know this comes as a BIG surprise to many Freepers but we are a Constitutional Republic, NOT a Presidential Dictatorship.
Exactly. They've used the SS as a slush fund for years. The chickens are coming home to roost.....and they're trying to blame it on the American people who contribute... versus the ones who utilize it most... and don't.
"I will have enough money saved/invested not to have to rely on the government."
I DO have enough money saved/invested not to have to rely on the government, but I have children and grandchildren and they deserve some return on the money that is being taken from them. However, while not required, my SS is a nice offset for my golfing habit.
