How is Ron Paul getting Social Security checks when he has a Congressional salary?

Did they exempt themselves from the limitations that working stiffs have?

These types of interviews are right out of the grade school play ground. There is no hope for the USA because there can be no serious intellectual diacussions of issues and solutions. We are headed the way of Greece.

On Greece, did any see the news article on conditions in Greece that Drudge linked to? Very scary.

Is RP collecting SS? Stupid, Ambush question.

If he paid in, he Should be collecting it. For him it’s not a Govt handout. It’s his own money that Uncle Sam was supposed to be keeping in trust for him.

Now paying it out to Illegals who never paid in to begin with is wrong, but like I said, it’s an ambush question, kind of like when did you stop beating your wife?

Social Security is “not a tax”. It is money you pay into an account held in trust by the US Government to be used as a retirement account when you reach retirement age. Ron Paul paid money into it in good faith, it’s his retirement account, he now takes his money out of it. Only the Government “borrowed” the money it held in trust meaning there is not enough to go around so the Progressives expect those who paid into it and had successful careers and other sources of income, to leave their money for other less fortunate folks.

I have been required by law to put a part of my wages into a government run ponzi scheme. If I manage to live long enough to get some of the scammed money back, I will try to get it back. SS has always been a government run slush fund filled by workers who were lied to. I plan to get back whatever I can. F’em.
