Now I get it (lite bulb) that’s why the theys didn’t want to change SS and just added to the amount paid in.  Glad it was all for our own good just like this health care is being shoved down our throats and up our **s.  It’s good for us wether we like it or not.
Wait until you draw some of that savings you’ll need for your retirement and see the taxes you’ll pay on that.  Then if you die b/4 you use it the taxes all your kids will pay on it and the free health care you’re going to get. 
You’ll love it because it’s all been for our own good. 
Our government has to pay for all those unfunded wars.  Damn President Bush it’s all his fault.

How is SS not a Ponzi scheme?
If I tried to run a caper like that, I’d be in the ‘pokey’ for sure.

Checks and zigzags with a portrait t-shirt?

Major fashion faux pas.

On the positive side, if Obamacare goes through, not many people will reach Social Security age.

Same here Merovign.  I was always told as a kid that it wouldn’t there when I got old.  Looks like they got that one right.

The faithful can’t be fooled by a cheap wannabe.

My wife asked if the original writers of social security legislation put a fail safe rule in saying the government couldn’t borrow from it. I cannot answer that. Does anybody know?

I can tell you exactly when Socialist Security will go broke; the week before I’m due to receive my first check.

You’ve got less than five years people; start buying beans & bullets.

I’m sure the first people to loose their social security payments will be those who don’t need it.  You know, those people who worked like dogs their whole life and scrimped and saved to where they have enough saved/invested to draw about as much out as they receive in SS.  Or maybe they payed off their homes so they would not have to worry about that expense.

Have been paying in since ‘71

The bastards have stolen every penny.

You have to read stories about current Social Security deficits carefully. Many minimize or eliminate the deficit by crediting non-existent interest on the non-existent trust funds. The real deficit is OASDI taxes minus ( benefits and expenses. ) Remember that every federal trust fund is actually part of the national debt.

Any plan to save Social Security by raising current taxes is a scam since, by law, any excess taxes will be credited to the debt and spent. The exception would be if these new taxes were used to set up individual accounts, hopefully with rights of inheritance. But there is already a move afoot in Congress to try the Argentinian method of confiscating all IRAs and 401-Ks

FYI: the Supreme Court has already rules that entitlements are not guaranteed and can be reduced at anytime by act of Congress.

Hell of a thing to see before breakfast.  What is that, only 3 generations of oligarchical inbreeding?

LOL, Sonar :D

I’m sure if we make it another 15 years and debt is severely choking us, world senior citizen Bono will be asking all our creditors to forgive our debt.

Obama recognizes the “Coffee Party” has already failed so now he is going to get dirty and form the t-booger party.

I never expected a penny. I just figured I was getting mugged every year.

Yeah, there;s no obsession there at all.
