Social security is already dead if you are under the age of 30.
Jason is just making a political point :)
(Good guy by the way, but being silly here)
The US government also has RESOURCES that can be titled over to any beneficiaries left over from the good old days.
Nah, they won’t end it they will pretend it.
SS will now be funded 100% by fiat money and new debt.
Because Obama needs votes.
“We could be having this conversation 15 years from now and talking about how President Obama, as a Democrat, was the president that started the path to killing Social Security,”
Yeah maybe “we” would. Everyone else would be blaming the Pubs.
social security will never “go broke” as long as they can print money.
We would all be Hearing it 24/7 Now if a Republican had proposed this farce,Oh wait, George W Bush wanted to let the Younger people to put 2% of their money into their own account and I thought the world was going to end,now this marxist is going to cost the Social security System 250 billion dollars and he ios a Hero. Folks you get what you deserve and the American People elected this guy and are in for it, and the Morons dont know what is going to Hit them as soon as they reelect this scumbag
The republicans are going to lose on both these issues. And they can’t be so stupid as to think otherwise.
This whole thing has been a sham and I’m ashamed to have drank the cool aid. The republicans took the house. It was planned so there would be someone to blame. But the dems kept the senate, with help from the republicans, so they could stop the house from stopping obama.
Now they volunteer to get smeared as raising taxes on working people and cutting off unemployment at Christmas.
They’ll nominate Romney so the press can say the “right wing racist tea partiers” stayed home whether they stay home or not.
obama will be re-elected. The dems will take back the house (though that’s really not neccessary). And the GOP is in on the scam.
I’ve started wearing a tin foil hat when it comes to the two parties. But I know longer think everything is about to collapse and I’m going to start eating my stored food.
Yesterday I mentioned a way to finally be rid of that socialist Ponzi Scheme. I will repeat what I said:
I have an idea:
If the Democrats think this “tax cut” is good for the economy, why not make it for the full FICA withholding amount of both individual and employer and make it permanent. Then, those who paid into it all their lives and ready to retire will have sufficient amount in their part of the “lock box” to collect it as planned. Those people who contributed a percentage their working years will get that percentage of back from the “lock box” at retirement and then they can use the remaining working years to build a real retirement savings.
Social Security problem solved.
What? No “lockbox”? My, that is a problem, huh?
We shouldn’t reduce the payroll tax; we should increase it because that would mean the 48% of those who don’t pay taxes will at least pay this.
RED HERRING ALERT, Those in the district of criminals have to have these kinds of charades in order to keep our attention off the real issues, of which are too numerous to list but way too damaging to the those in government if allowed to completely surface. Returning the governance of this nation to the confines of constitutional principles would reverse much of what has caused our nation's erosion into the corrupt status of it's current state.
Herman Cain rightly saw that SS will have to be paid out of the general fund, and in fact, it already largely is. That’s why he wanted to abolish both the employer payroll tax and the employee payroll tax......back to 9-9-9, with or without Herman.
Taxes on labor are just crazy.
