The reserves that are held in social security as treasury bonds are as sound as the debt we owe to china and japan. and, from what I get out of the
article, the balance sheet for the trust will continue to grow, even when the amount of taxes going into the trust is overcome by the payout. it's
the gov't that is broke, not social security.
matter of fact, I would venture to guess if it wasn't for social security, all of our taxes would have doubled or tripled over the past
decades....
because the gov't sure the heck ain't gonna quit spending!!!
so what do the talking heads encourage the masses to do...scream for them to quit their useless spending, na....
they get them to scream to do away with social security, and thus ask the gov't to renag on their debt!!
what happened to the "you should pay your debts" bit?? or is that only good for the peons in the world? I mean, most of the houses that I see going
into foreclosure are in the higher end of the income spectrum, but for the rich, it's more of a strategic move, isn't it....
for the poor, it's just low morality!!!
Let me put it to you as simple as I can.....
I've gone for long periods on just one meal every couple days, because their wasn't enough food in the house for a family of 5...
I've gone without medical care while I watched my foot deteriorate to uselessness...
I've put up with my kids getting tormented and harasses by neighbor's kids for being "poor" when those kids where being fed by taxmoney that my
family was pitching in!
I've sat in a cold arsed house, just to walk outside and see neighbors windows all opened up...airing the house out..why not, it's our taxdollars
paying for it!!
I've been stuck in that little gap...the too rich for any help, too poor to really live for most of my live!!
and ya know what??
You are completely, utterly nuts, if you think I will be continuing on like into my 80's or 90's or whatever.....
you don't want to pay back the debt that is owed to the trustfund...I don't want to, never have wanted to pay for these silly girls, and the
father's of their babies, stupid mistakes! or much of anyting else this stupid gov't has been doling out the cash for....
fine, don't pay the social secuirty...but then, don't expect me to be working my arse off to pay for the medicaid, the child health plus, the
student aide, the aide to businesses, drug research, and oh ya, the bridges to nowhere and the grammies!!! matter of fact, don't even expect me to
be working for that pittance of a wage so my boss can enjoy his yearly vacations to europe....
just don't expect me to work, at least not for your benefit!! I'm retiring in my 60's...if I can't find a way to live in your society...I will
just leave it...and you, to pay out the arse for the stupidity....
