How to render a Republic speechless...
   
Remind him or her about Bush's plan to put Social Security into the markets.

Ask them if that still sounds like a good idea....

 :bs:

Still a great idea.  I'd much rather control where my retirement money is rather than hope that the government will give it back to me upon retirement.

Epic fail, Taverner. :loser:

Last I heard the sectors of the market that weren't government run were doing rather well.

Fannie and Freddie started this mess and every corp the Obama touches goes tits-up. If the gov't would stop killing the economy we'd be doing rather well.

This DUmmie apparently has no faith in Dear Leaders economic plan, other wise they'd know that at some point the market will recover. At least it would if 0bama would  stop trying to ruin the economy.

Exactly, Thudley.  And didn't messiah say that "profit and earnings ratios are such that if you have a long term horizon, there might be good investing opportunities in the market." 

Well, I guess he didn't leave us Republics [sic] speechless.   :-)

It's all about short-term gratification for the DUmmies.  On every issue, really.  On this one, they've obviously never looked at a graph showing the Dow Jones average over time.  Nothing but upward over the long-term.

Oh not only that...think of the gen xers like myself right behind you. We are in that in between age, but definitely not young enough to have the chance gen y and younger have to work around the reality of SS and probably Medicare. We are in the same boat as you younger boomers which means our two little generations will feel the brunt of the monumental **** ups of the last 20 years or so.  :thatsright:

Well, right now, it would be a frickin' BRILLIANT idea.  The markets don't appear to be going seriously lower, though it looks like they won't be starting a steady upward trend for awhile, but when the upward movement starts the inflation price that the One has bought into with his economic policies will make the Government securities relatively worthless, with appreciating stocks being the only way to stay ahead of the declining value of money.

I'll make a deal with you Democrats and DUmmies, I've paid into SS since 1978. 

You can keep that money.  But allow me for the remaining 19 years I work to invest

the SS tax you take out of my paycheck as I see fit.  What do you think ?

I was just actually thinking about increasing the percentage of my pay that goes into my 401K.  Obama will probably drive the prices down real low.  It's kinda looking like he's going to get the boot in 2012, and hopefully a Repiblican that knows something about free enterprise gets in and the market will start to rise.  I've got 12-15 years  'til retirement. I figure should work out pretty good.

Hmmmm...rate of return on the DJIA since I entered the workforce in 1981...just under 9 percent.  Return on SS funds over same period...just under 1 percent.

Yep--DUmmie math epic fail.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

My retirement IS in the market.  I have very little hope of Social Security existing when I retire...and even less of my work's pension plan surviving until then.   ::)

Funny, cause during the market "crash" my TSP (401k equivalent) made money.  I think I'd rather be putting my SS money into something like that, then the black hole that i'm currently putting it into.

He didn't say for how long. In my case, it was approximately 2-3 seconds, which was the amount of time it took to read that tripe.
