Deport illegals and no amnesty. Baby boomers are going to find Soc Security bankrupt. These “bailouts” will end upo to the insolvency of the country.
No “bailouts” are necessary. Simply pay back what they have taken (stolen) from Social Security and do it now. It has become just another tax system under a different name.
Just add up all the money Obama has promised. I bet it exceeds the Gross Global Product for the next ten years. Social Security needs to be ‘fixed’ and certain presidential candidates even tried to make it happen
The democrats insanely deny there is a social security crisis.
This, and Medicare, which is also due to go broke very soon, are the main causes for the Dims’ panic at the idea that their plans for government run health care will not be passed this year.
Years ago I said that we, the Baby Boomers, would get our Social Security as promised but by that time, we would all be using hyper inflated dollar bills for toilet paper.
Well, the day is just around the corner it would appear.
These are not two different issues. The "health care reform" proposed by Congress contained those end-of-life provisions specifically because euthanizing the elderly is seen as the best way to "address" Social Security.
“there is no money in the Social Security Trust Fund — it’s all been spent.”
Our life savings have been watched over by financial wolves.
I’ve been thinking that’s why there is this hard push for obama’s death care bill for a while now.
Below is a response I made to a post last week:
The more obama and his thugacrats push his health care plan the more it looks like death care to me. And I’m beginning to think they see some of us as being worth more dead then alive.
Baby boomers are ready to go on social security by the millions. But our moneys not there! They blew through our social security savings and wouldn’t let President Bush do anything to try to fix the problem. But if you can force us all under gov. controlled health care, let our illness’s kill us off by refusing to pay for our care, then you don’t have to worry about paying us our social security savings do you? So baby boomers become worth more dead then alive!
Why else would they turn against the public like they have? Why else would they push so hard to try to shove this death care down our necks?
How would this even be done? Have the Mint print up some $1,000,000 bills and sell them to the Social Security administration, which would then lock them up in Ft. Knox?
THE OLD AGE PENSION CHECK
Roy Acuff & His Smoky Mountain Boys - 1939
When our old age pension check comes to our door,
We won’t have to dread the poor house anymore.
Though we’re old and thin and gray,
Good times will be back to stay,
When our old age pension check comes to our door.
When her old age pension check comes to her door,
Dear old grandma won’t be lonesome any more.
She’ll be waiting at the gate,
Every night she’ll have a date,
When her old age pension check comes to her door.
Grow a flowing long white beard and use a cane,
‘Cause you’re in your second childhood, don’t complain.
Life will just begin at sixty,
We’ll all feel very frisky,
When our old age pension check comes to our door.
Powder and paint will be abolished on that day,
And hoop skirts will then be brought back into play.
Painted cheeks will be the rage,
And old maids will tell their age,
When their old age pension check comes to their door.
All the drug stores will go bankrupt on that day,
For cosmetics, they will all be put away.
I’ll put a flapper on the shelf,
Get a grandma for myself,
When her old age pension check comes to her door.
There’s a man that turned this country upside-down
With his old age pension rumor going ‘round.
If you want in on the fun,
Send your dime to Washington,
And that old age pension man will be around.
The Dems invented social security. They are the ones who have been falsely telling the American people for 70 years that it is a safe place to put your money and a good investment. They are the ones who have been telling us that if you invest in private accounts then you’re taking a risk that you won’t have with social security. The are the ones who have been demagoguing the everytime the GOP has tried to inject some sanity into the system. This is a problem that the Dems created and now it looks like the Dems are going to break the sacred promise of social security and medicare.
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 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.
That’s why the baby boomers have to go. Let’s jail our Congress. No pensions and make them pay back every dime they stole.
Really good article linked within the MSN article:
Social Security: The Next Great Bailout

parsy, who is not surprised
Just give it all back to me in the form of a tax deduction and we’ll call it even, no need to pay me later.
Lets get Social Security straightened out FIRST, then Medicare before we tackle anything like healthcare. I swear the answer is to kill all the lawyers as Shakespeare expoused and execute all the cheaters.
Mr. Bernie Madoff
paging Mr. Bernie Madoff
please pick up the white courtesy telephone
President Baraq Obama is asking you to become Social Sec Czar.
fun to see this
how many others like me are going from 40 yrs of paying the maximum SS tax to paying zippo and collecting benefits?
and I guarantee there’s nobody at my company that they hired to replace me to replace my tax paid.
and boys and girls.....despite what AARP tells you....the “trust fund” really doesn’t contain hundreds of billions
