Our rights come from God. We're exceptional because we inherited from our Founding Fathers the understanding that power comes to each one of us personally -- we loan power to the state, government does not loan it to the people. It’s about taking power BACK from government and returning it to the people. One Hour of CLEAR thinking: [C-SPAN video] Newt Gingrich Speaks with Students about Social Security.

GINGRICH TO SPEAK ON UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - OSHKOSH CAMPUS FRIDAY " Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich will hold a rally in the lower gym of the Kolf Sports Center Friday at 11:45 a.m. in preparation for the upcoming Wisconsin presidential primary election.

“I think it’s really important for candidates like him to come to campus because it really gets people interested and informed about the actual campaign process, even if they are not interested in voting for him,” Erin Clark, Vice President of College Republicans, said.

The event, put together by the student organization College Republicans, is open to both students and the surrounding community and will last approximately one hour. There is no admission cost or fee for parking on campus that day.

The people involved in bringing Gingrich to campus are not sure exactly what he will talk about, but they say that he will strongly promote his campaign views."......

>> Opponents of Gingrich’s plan argue that the 2008 financial crisis would have destroyed private social security accounts,

What a joke. So the govt magically resuscitated the banks with money fallen from trees...

Their liberal arts professors probably didn't tell them Social Security was already bankrupt, and their best hope for retirement was an IRA or 401K. Who is John Galt?

Under his plan, taxpayers would manage a private savings account with funds drawn from their paychecks. Contributions from employers would continue to fund the social security trust.

"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."

-- James Madison

Doubt the oldest is 25. Social Security or “Social welfare” Is flat broke.

Retirement age for these kids will be 80+ if the live that long.
