[CounterCounterCulture]

Clintoon felt our paaaaaaiiiin ;-)

[Hank Rearden]

Gee, if born after 1950 we're all f$%%^$ed by Big Stupid Government, but we get to pay the maximum (and rising) Socialist "Security" rates, huh? The damn thing needs to be shut down like any other scam, but the idiots in government are more concerned about holding power.

We need another American Revolution. Screw government parasites and politicians.

First question from Les Nessman, WKRP.

[spectre]

"Benefits for low income workers will grow faster than for people who are better off"...

Oops!

[Dog]

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

LOL - agreed - politically - she is.

[OXENinFLA]

Didn't this A$$hat get the 1st question at the last presser?

[mdittmar]

Reality is something with which they are not familiar.

[altura]

Ha! You've been on too many Day in the Life threads!

Those ladies are VERY tie obsessed.

[silent_jonny]

Howdy!

[twin2]

Is he done already?? I guess I was expecting more. He doesn't need to talk to us, he needs to go next door to congress and knock some heads together.

[prairiebreeze]

rumor.

[Howlin]

That's who he reminded me of!

It sounded "vaguely" like the question that what's his face, the "fake" reporter, asked, didn't it?

[NautiNurse]

He should say VOLUNTARY about five times during this speech!

The old folks (who are not affected) and the libs don't care about the voluntary part. They don't trust the stock market. I've had this discussion many times already. They don't care that I want a better rate of return for my money.

Nuts!

[Miss Marple]

Terry Hunt: M ajority of people are disapproving of your Social Security proposal and energy policies blah blah are you frustrated that you can't get control of your agenda?

Excellent answer by the President. Seniors will get their checks. People haven't had to face these issues in over 20 years.

[Txsleuth]

Are you going to take your Social Security? Because anyone on this thread that IS better not complain about income redistribution....
