Social Security



Red Ink Thot: Boycott Social Security. Stop paying into a Big Gov retirement system that cannot not and will not pay back those who have contributed. 2/17/12



2036 or sooner? Social Security may be dying faster than expected. [moneynews.com] 2/17/12 

News flash: Social Security IS broken and it is broke.


Coming Year 2012


Alternative way to fix social security. 1:40 you tube video. Not a bad idea starting with the under 55 age groups.

Repeat after me. Democrats have been the Party that does not want to touch anything related to Social Security. Every time Republicans suggest ways to fix it, Democrats scream, cry and run the other way. THEY shout: Republicans want to take away your Social Security. But ... It is the GOP that is trying to fix it. Wake up.

Social Security payments and 2037, the year of default.

Left wingers are still basing their 2012 campaign strategy on the worn out political dogma that Republicans want to eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Consider the well publicized fact that Congress has “borrowed” money from our Social Security accounts for decades and left us with IOUs. Add to that … Democrats want to give Social Security and other benefits to millions of illegals who have not paid a cent into the system we funded. Obviously, these programs are going broke and will go broke sooner if all of these new “benefits” are given to those who have not paid into our system. Republicans want to fix the system. Democrats still refuse to consider any fixes, temporary or permanent. So, who is standing in the way of fixing our future benefits that we paid for throughout our work life! Certainly not the GOP. =TheRightJack 8/14/11

Crisis 2037. Social Security is destined to die because Congress “borrowed” US Taxpayer dollars paid into it, without repaying their loan. This is exactly how Ponzi schemes operate. DOD is 2037 or sooner. Democrats continue to trash Republicans for addressing “our” problem. Democrats will not touch Social Security or even work on ways to fix it, until it is dead. Actually, Democrats have addressed the issue, in a manner of speaking, with the ObamaHealthCare death panels. Seniors who are left to die from the bureaucratic denial of medical treatment will reduce Social Security payouts. =TheRightJack 7/31/11

Coming Year 2010
2010 is an election year for 1/3 of the senate and 1/2 of the house of representatives. It would be nice if congress got the message; the voting taxpayers are in charge now.

Social Security 2009

A note from the sender: LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE INTERNET. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT! KEEP IT GOING!!!!

Propose this in 2009:

START A MOVEMENT TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY

SOCIAL SECURITY: (This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)

Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years. Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.

You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan. In recent years, no congress person has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.

For all practical purposes their plan works like this:

When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.

Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments.

For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7, 800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275, 000.00 during the last years of their lives.

This is calculated on an average life span for each of those Dignitaries.

Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.

Their cost for this excellent plan to them is $0.00. NADA!!! ZILCH!!!

This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;

"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!

From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer), We can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month after retirement.

Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's benefits!

Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made. That change would be to: Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us. Then sit back ... And see how fast they would fix it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.

How many people can YOU send this to? Better yet ... How many people WILL you send this to?

Social Security, an entitlement?

Social Security being called an 'entitlement!'

Who is saying that, Democrats, most likely.

This stinks. I am getting Social security and paid the full amount each year of my career. I hear that the presidet wants to stop next month's checks due to the national debt crisis. Read on...

I thought I was the only one that was scratching my head over my Social Security being called an 'entitlement!'

I am entitled to it! I paid into it all my life. But to have it coupled in the same category with Welfare and other hand outs which are not earned by the recipients is insulting!

Entitlement?

You don't need guts to send this ... you just have to give a damn about 240 years of history and the blood, sweat, lives, tears, etc. That others before us went through to get us to today.

Entitlement my ass, I paid cash for my social security insurance! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!

Congressional benefits, aka free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements!

What the HELL's wrong?

WAKE UP AMERICA!

Tuesday's Daily Bulletin paper, ran two articles on the front page side by side:

1. Calif 's 20 Billion Dollar Budget Deficit

2. The Calif Supreme Court ruling that ILLEGALS can attend college and get benefits. Why don't they just deport them when they arrive to register?

3. Last year they ran an article on the yearly costs to Calif Taxpayers from Illegals using Hospital Emergency Rooms for their general health care.

At just one hospital the cost to tax payers totaled over 25 million a year.

Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this country!

We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.?

In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, Turkey, Japan. And now Pakistan .....home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and tons of food to Foreign Countries!

They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when its time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?

We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.

AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment, etc.

YET...

They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.

Imagine if our GOVERNMENT gave US the same support they give to other countries.

Sad isn't it?

99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.

I'm one of the 1%.

I Just Did

Note: This was passed along to TheRightJack. It is obvious that some of our seniors are a very disturbed that our Big US Gov can spend and spend on all sorts of needless projects but then turn right around and use the Debt Ceiling "faux crisis" as a way to pressure Republicans into going against the wishes of the US people. So ... Do not raise the debt ceiling. Cut spending, but not at the expense of seniors who have paid their way and soldiers who are paying with their lives.
