America is done! Stick a fork in her. The mob/majority of voters have dictated it.

		<description><![CDATA[Social Security without a doubt has been the biggest ponzi/pyramid scheme of all time, second to Al Gore’s “Global Warming;” and it would even make Bernie Madoff blush.  Past/present Presidencies and Congresses extorted our hard earned monies from our paychecks, in reality, and are all to blame for the loss of these funds that we were coerced to invest; over one hundred Trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities is in the wind; gone, poof. 



I guarantee it wasn’t the “Baby Boomers” fault.!

Again, one big whopper of a lie; much like Hitler’s description of the big lie in his book Mein Kampf back in the 1920’s.  If the lie was a small one people wouldn’t believe it.  What’s interesting, both Democrat and Republican politicians continue today to use Hitler’s theory; can you say ObamaCare.? 

Since President Johnson’s Progressive (Socialism) utopian ideology, “the Great Society” and with the help of his super majority, Democrat/Progressive, in Congress passed the Social Security Act of 1965 our funds were doomed.  The Act allowed Congress and Presidents access to our secured funds to use at their whim; fund unrelated pork projects or even balance Federal Budgets (thanks Clanton/Gingrich). 



Yup, and you wondered how Clanton and Gingrich came up with a surplus?


  What made Social Security even more doomed was when Congress moved our two alleged “secured” trust accounts to the general fund.  Yes, back in 1968 our Social Security funds became a line item with-in the Federal Budget.

So, don’t hold your breath with Social Security, it’s gone.  There isn’t enough money on the PLANET to refund it. Too bad we can’t put the 535 past and present in prison for the theft of our funds.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Therefore, Social Security recipients want their monthly check and are oblivious about who has to pay and the pending economic calamity that awaits future generations....&quot; 



Certainly not true for some unknown percentage of those recipients but what are they now to do at a time for most when gainful employment is little more than a cherished but no longer viable experience. While age discrimination in this politically correct world is illegal it is nevertheless an unavoidable fact. Who is going to hire a 70 year old truck driver, sanitation worker, carpenter, bank teller, etc., etc. when there are much younger, healthier, more vigorous, more motivated and perhaps more qualified individuals, eager to support a young family and clamoring for the same income producing opportunities.

The fact that the Congress refuses to address this issue in any meaningful way is largely their fear of retribution at the ballot box. This is because the Congress has no idea how to fix this problem of their own making without inflicting disastrous consequences on the growing population of senior citizens that are
now or will soon be in the system; seniors that are among the most active participants in elections.

To date it seems that no one has come up with a solution that will be painless for all, seniors already collecting their checks and all those down the age spectrum who will be effected in one way or another. Compound this with the fact that corporate America has been so demonized by the highly publicized cases of the fraudulent handling and squandering of employee retirement funds and the media generated an constantly reinforced mistrust and scepticism aimed at corporate America in general, “the epitome of evil,” that any suggestion of “privatization” of the social security system is met with extreme scepticism and virulent resistance. It&#039;s referred to as “the third rail” in politics; political suicide.


The extreme irony here is that the government run system is a Ponzi scheme, one of the more egregious acts of financial fraud in the annals of related crimes. Bernie Madoff is currently serving a life in prison sentence for a crime the government imposes a sentence on itself of defacto immunity. Couple this with the fact that there are literally hundreds if not thousands of private
investment vehicles available, (Here are a list of 114: 
http://www3.troweprice.com/fb2/mfpathways/pathways.otc) that come under the ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) umbrella intended to
protect investors, future retirees, from the very abuse perpetrated by the US Government that seniors seem to be convinced is their Knight in shining armor. How is this possible? Apparently because seniors are too indoctrinated, too lazy, too ignorant, too old and too determined not to listen to any proposal related to “privitization” though any such approach would likely be structured so as to have no effect whatsoever on their retirement prospects.

This is not to imply that privatization will be a simple, one size fits all, straightforward solution. On the contrary. Nevertheless, despite some initial problems in the early years, once those recede with the passage of time and the Government is reduced to perhaps providing catastrophic retirement insurance only, using revenues from the general fund (where FICA contributions go now) the Social Security funding dilemma will be resolved. 

One thing is for certain. Beating up on old folks implying they are non
conributing  beneficiaries of undeserved entitlements will do nothing except reinforce the resentment felt by the youth who are paying an ever increasing percentage of their payroll FICA deductions to pay for said “entitlement.”

A brief note on private funds. The so called “defined benefit plans” payout a
fixed monthly retirement benefit over the lifetime of the recipient with no contribution whatsoever from the taxpayers, instead relying on the dividends, interest and capital gains  from actively managed investment portfolios.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Then you agree that SS is in trouble.  Labeling your post as &#039;Nonsense&#039; is misleading.  SS is going down the tubes without change.  Your post simply argues who is responsible.  I agree that Congress is to blame, but the question remains:  what is to be done to mitigate a bad situation?  It&#039;s definitely a Ponzi scheme and withdrawals are being made faster than new deposits.


This article asks what is to be done to avoid a collapse?  It&#039;s a real question that will be answered by overt action on our part or fiscal bankruptcy.  If you&#039;re already on SS, as I, then you need to accept that a reduction in benefits is coming, one way or the other.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Social Security Fund was originally set up as a trust, to be invested in bank accounts, safe from the variables of the stock market.  Lyndon Johnson transferred the money in the SS fund to the General fund, to finance the Vietnam War.  The money was replaced in the SS fund with pieces of paper (bonds). Every since, Social Security taxes are placed into the general fund, spent by the government for general expenses, aid to other countries, perks, etc. 

Retirees are sent their monthly payments from the money collected from currently employed people. What is left after those payments are made goes into the general fund, and the SS fund gets more pieces of paper.

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;B&gt;NONSENSE!&lt;/B&gt;


Social Security is in trouble &lt;B&gt;NOT&lt;/B&gt; for the reasons the author gives.


Social Security is in trouble because &lt;B&gt;CONGRESS STOLE THE MONEY&lt;/B&gt; and mixed the &lt;B&gt;TRUST FUND&lt;/B&gt; with general funds so it could distribute the billions of dollars that made the fund solvent to lowlife, leeching scumbags.


As usual, for votes.


&lt;B&gt;CONGRESS DID THAT!&lt;/B&gt;


This kind of crap is regurgitated again and again, and it is false.


If Congress had not touched the money and allowed it to be put into an interest bearing account instead of spending it as Congress (including Republicans like Bush) loves to do, this article would be truly laughable.


Instead it is sad, because our Congress -- not those on Social Security -- is destroying America.]]></description>
