Paying in 200 bucks a month for 45 years is 112.5K
and thats with no compounding

I want my 112.5K

[mylife]

And thats just SS and medicare. Take away pensions and your talking 300k in entitlements without compounding. thats 15 yrs worth of retirement for me.

I dont want to vote for throwing that away

[mylife]

Anyone here wanna vote for tossing 300K?
I dont.
Dont get me wrong, I like Fred a lot

I for one have been thinking of business whith china.
Sure they are our ideological enemy, but there is money to be had. my childhood friend has made millions in this area.
Im looking more to India because of my beliefs.
Its a huge expanding market

Now Mom.. do you really think this stuff isnt a concern to the average voter?

[TN4Liberty]

SS is a pitance and Pension is a pitance 400 and 600 a mo respectivly, but damn it We paid for it and we deserve it.

I hope you find a candidate who will take care of you. I just hope my kids don't go bankrupt paying for you. They didn't vote for instituting SSI either.

I just hope my kids don't go bankrupt paying for you

LoL Dammit its MY Money!

[The Pack Knight]

I do sympathize. The problem is that your $112.5k is gone, spent. You money will be "gotten back" for you by taking it out of my paycheck and the paychecks of my generation.

By the time my generation is ready to collect, both programs will be insolvent, and we won't be getting a dime "back".

So someone is going to get screwed, because Social Security was a fraud from day one. If Social Security was a private pension plan, its authors would have ended up in prison.

Hopefully we can find a way to spread the pain so no one is hurt too badly. Otherwise, it's my generation against yours, and that won't be good for anyone, because I will vote to toss your money away to save mine. That's just the way it is.

[mylife]

yep

[mylife]

And you know? that bugs me is that the professionals blow the money and get away scot free.

I want less gov and less programs. I just want them to stop BSing us

[mylife]

I wonder what the budget of the UN is?
What do they accomplish?

UN dignitary's sporting around in luxury SUVs on there way to the 5 star restaurant or to their penthouse suite.

They all have the people in mind L0L

F that stuff I want mine L0L

America. Together. Again

No one talks anymore

Your tagline ("ARREST ILLEGALS AND SEND THEM BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM" Fred Thompson)

it sounds good on the surface but why do we have this problem?

Well it is because our country rocks and Mexico sucks in comparison.

I like Mexican folks just fine but their gov sucks. the long term solution is to bring mexico up to speed . Mexico is a rich country. there is no need for their plight

[Politicalmom]

So your solution is to keep pouring money into that cesspool of corruption down there?

[Politicalmom]

And that isn’t Fred’s full opinion. That is there because of the people who claim that Fred said he would do nothing about illegals.
