Social Security: We have had many chances to avoid this mess.
Remember when GW Bush wanted to take your Social Security investments and give them to you to invest at your pleasure? Remember that? Remember that we rejected it? I didn't trust Bush's motivations. Even his own party figured he was up to no good. But, that was one chance.
Remember that for more than 25 years we have had dire warnings that Social Security contributions would not be enough to cover baby boomers when they retired? Remember how we ignored those warnings over and over and over again? Remember how we didn't do jack shit?
Sound vaguely familiar?
Well here we are. Social Security benefits are about to strangle us in part because we want cost of living adjustments and other tweaks that will allow us to pull out more than we put in. In a short time, we will have more money being sucked out of SS than we could ever pump in unless something is done. So, what are you going to do? I mean, other than threaten to impeach Obama.
Well? Oh, what the hell. Let's blame Obama.

Buzzy, all you're going to hear from the fellow fools you hang out with is to raise the cap in SS and Medicare contributions so the rich pay in more. It won't work. Only economists who have doctored their findings claim that it will, and you should get a few links on your thread to their "studies" saying it would work. But it won't.
You see it, the other primitives don't. Consider yourself only slightly smarter than the most stupid people alive, if only on this one topic and for the moment.

I applauded this, but wait, how DARE I invest my own money! Why, the Govt is much at it better than me!
Not working out, huh, you idiots.

Hey Fuzzy Buzzy, I remember 1964 and Barry Goldwater's warnings and suggestions to fix SS. The MSM went into high gear with "GOLDWATER WOULD DO AWAY WITH SOCIAL SECURITY"......and start a nuclear war.....and other lies which gave us LBJ and an increase in SS withholding plus 2 wars, one in Viet Nam and the more costly "Great War on Poverty".
All the problems in this country can be traced to the stupidity of DUmmie voters and their leaders.
