They could limit the amount of money invested in private business to a percentage of the total amount of issued stock.
They could also invest the money in precious metals, municipal bonds and such.
If Obama is reelected (I give him a 1 in 5 chance today) SS will fail before the end of his second term.
If they are truly private accounts, the ownership is the individual, not the government.
Where then were the excess funds deposited, if not in government bonds, i.e. laundered into the general fund?
I’m not quite sure what McCotter’s plan will entail, but I’m almost certain that it will involve personal choice re: your investment. The fact that Peter J. Ferrara is involved at some level would solidify that.
Rick Perry:
We’re having a special guest at Monday’s debate. Those who correctly guess who it is by tomorrow at 6PM CT receive a bumper sticker! Make your guess below.
Now that’s a smart tease.
Two top guesses so far are Bush and Palin. LOL
I’ll go with Ted Nugent!
That’s a good guess.
Palin...she’s already said she’d be at the debate on the 12th. Maybe she ask some of the questions.
Gov. Rick Scott
LOL!
My first thought was that the debate is on CNN, so she'd be violating her Fox News contract...
And then I thought so what, she'd be a heck of alot better than Brian Williams! :)
Yes, it is CNN...but hey, maybe she’ll be there for FoxNews...no, she was invited by the Tea Party...she got whatever she needed from whoever to legally attend.
Where did she say this?
Hmm. CNN invites Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani to September 12th GOP debate
Maybe the CNN “invitation” to Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani to their September 12th GOP debate caused the tiny 4.2 earthquake we just had here in L.A. at the time of this post. According to TV Newser, CNN has announced the participants of what they are calling “The Tea Party Republican Debate.” The participants will include the expected. Rick Perry, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum and for whatever reason, Jon Huntsman. But in an odd move, CNN also extended invitations to Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani.
Rick Perry definitely knows how to roll up his sleeves and get to business. He is showing courage to stand up to the old school madness of some of these federal programs and do what needs to be done to restore our great country. I think Rick Perry just gave “government business as usual” the bird! :-)
Hey Cas! How was the concert?
One thing I’m learning about Rick Perry is that his outlook on the role of government is not something he’s just recently dreamed up so he could run for President. He’s being seeing things the way he does for quite some time.
I ran across an interview he did with the Wall Street Journal a couple of years ago. Here’s a link...
