Why are they paying me 3 times in social security payments over what I paid in, counting for inflation? I began collecting at 62, now at 81 still healthy as a race horse and could easily outlive my 103 year old mother.
SS paid for my 2 under 18 age kids for many years, more than my monthly check. Why?
I’m only 50, so I can’t answer your question.
You have 31 years of living in America, that I can only read about.
My maternal grandfather(1916-2016) almost made a 100. His body and mind were solid till the last day of his life.
Take care and congratulations on your excellent genes, not every family has them.
Hell....I get in and out in days.
Why do you think they are trying to purge the military of anyone who would refuse orders to mow down American civilians? They know what they are creating.
Gloom and doom scenario. No doubt inflation will get worse, but I don’t see the a market meltdown in the near term. Stocks are one of the few investment options that earn a reasonable ROI. Yes, the equities markets will go up and down, but a collapse? I’m not worried...yet.
i don’t get this talk of MASSIVE UNPRECEDENTED bubbles in securities ...
when biden stole office, the Dow was at about 31,000; today it’s about 35,000, about a 13% increase ... whether that’s warranted or not who knows, but it’s NOT some gigantic MASSIVE UNPRECEDENTED bubble price that’s gonna come crashing down because it’s some gigantic MASSIVE UNPRECEDENTED bubble price ...

*HEART* :)
The stock market could have a 15% swing either way for the next 12 months, and you still have a solid market.
Don’t believe the media hype, just calmly analyze different trends and invest accordingly.
Good post BTW, catnipman.
Republicans must take seriously the effort by Democrats to completely change America through the Reconciliation Process. Democrats are now suggesting that budget reconciliation can be used to pass Mail-In Ballot legislation as well as trying to include Amnesty in their infrastructure package....Any effort to dictate national Mail-In Voting will be a disaster for our Country and for conservatism. There will never be a Republican elected to high office again. I urge every Republican to fight this and deny Democrats a quorum if that is what it takes to make sure that the Democrats can’t use reconciliation.
If the RATs manage to Nationalize elections then America Dies.
Ha. I don't know.
Most of this kind of stuff I post is because I'm looking for answers from you all myself.
I think brass and lead are far more useful.
Even gold cannot buy what isn’t there. And you can’t eat it.
My neighbor called me yesterday and informed me that he was giving my younger brother most of his guns and ammo. He's so old and didn't want to leave them with his Chinese wife when he dies. She's 25 years younger than him.
He would have given them to me but (ahem) I'm older than him.
.
Good for him.
That’s a well thought out plan rather than leaving them to someone who would just turn them in to the authorities or destroy them.
“...because I’m looking for answers from you all myself.”
It feels like the best strategy these days is to keep our cards close to our vest, and to keep our powder dry! ;)
They leave them out because it is stupid to include them in counting debt. When you look at your debt, do you include every dollar you will spend for the rest of your life, not accounting for any income? of course not, because that would be stupid.
You are absolutely correct and its a point I have made numerous times on FR but not sure that people were believing it so I kind of gave up with attempting to be precise. The unfunded liabilities are so obscene I can understand why some may have trouble grasping the magnitude and implications of this enormous, unsustainable burden.
Every dollar I am committed to spending?
Yes. That needs to be accounted for as well.
