What is the national debt?
From what I've read, no one really knows what our national debt is. I've read $3T to $17T. All the expurts seems to come up with different numbers.
Did you read the news when the Treasury said they were taking "extraordinary efforts" to fund the rest of government, and "borrowed" from TSP?
I read the Treasury tried but Congress said no dice. Why are we reading two different outcomes if your statement is true?
Do you really think, during a financial crisis, that your TSP will rank above food riots and the Taker class?
So I have to assume that all of your money is stashed in a can and buried in the backyard? If the events you describe were to happen, it wouldn't just be my TSP they are stealing but all assets from all citizens. If that were to happen, the "taker class" lives would not be worth spit.
Did you notice that Obama could care less about your kind vis a vis furloughs and non existent pay increases? Even if you are retired, there is no love with Congress or Obama for the government workers.
It's all politics man. Everyone knows that. My current government doesn't give a crap about it's citizens.
Did you read the news that the military has now been screwed out of their retirement, and are now forced into the TSP racket?
As of this very moment, they have not been screwed out of their retirement and they are not forced into the "TSP racket". Here's a link to the proposal and it's supposed to kick in FY 18.
The government has always screwed vets. I agree we are headed down a dark road and hopefully a new administration will reverse things but just don't exaggerate the current situation.
