As for the original topic of this thread, it is alarmist bullshit. He is trying to get the old fucks that cling to the Republican party to light up the switchboard at the capitol building to make sure they get their checks in the mail.
Fact is, the old people let the government spend their social security contributions years ago. Before most of us on this board were born. They are now spending the money that my three year old son hasn't even earned yet. So, while I have to say that this country should be able to take care of its old, disabled and children, fuck social security it shouldn't get any more priority now than it ever has. Where was the priority forty years ago when government was wasting the money?Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

Originally posted by Hobie View PostFWIW I think SS is a good idea. That's just me. Seems like a LOT of people are too dumb to control the entirety of their retirement planning. Without a forced retirement contribution/benefit lots of people would be fucked. I don't want to get shot in the crossfire of a geriatric bank robbery.
Those who paid in for a lifetime should have more priority than the able bodied on welfare, food stamps, lonestar card, etc.
Oh and welfare and food stamps equal pennies compared to SS and medicare. Not insignificant but not near as much. Here is a link, welfare, unemployment and other "mandatory" spending is about 16%. I have seen another chart like this that broke out welfare and food stamps and I want to say it was something like 6 or 7%. Enough to worry about but not crazy like SS...

Was passed for show? They did what they were sent to do. And federal government is supposed to do very little. 18 things as a matter of fact. They also stabilized the tax code for another year which helped businesses.
Wonder if Obama is going to try to raise taxes while he runs again in 2012I wear a Fez. Fez-es are cool
