    Biden is not going to bargain with the Republicans on Social Security. He made that clear at the State of the Union speech.

    Again, it's not the Boomers. It's the Republicans. BTW, I like Medicare (and I think Medicare Advantage is an insurance company giveaway). I want it to be there for the next generation and the next generations.

    All Rs are R. Paul Ryan wasn't a Boomer. Kevin McCarthy isn't a Boomer. By the way, I'm a Boomer, an overrated generation with shitty music. I'm just not a Republican, a shitty political party with overrated 'principles'.

    You should blame the ladder being pulled up on the people who are pulling up the ladder: Republicans. If you can find an official policy statement from AARP saying we should roll up Medicare I’ll give you my car.

    Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft, where we are hard, cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. That and they...

    Guy, I didn't understand that. Isn't means testing SS benefits just saying that if your income is at a certain level you don't qualify? If you're Mitt Romney and cashing in his massive IRAs that's income. Mitt no get SS.

    If you believe that then it would make sense to stop spending money on those other things. SS pays for itself from payroll taxes. For example, your boy W paid for the Iraq war with tax cuts. He didn't even budget the war; it went straight to debt. If you seek equity you must do equity.

    There's a lot l like here. Basically, if high earners get capped on contributions then they should get capped on payouts. So means test SS benefits.

    The monies paid into the Social Security trust have never been "put into the general fund." http://www.snopes.com/politics/socialsecurity/changes.asp

    All fiat currencies are contracts between ourselves and ourselves. Well except in Libertaria where it's even less complicated... letting individual Bitcoin miners solve math problems that other people may or may not have solved. This in turn relies on the full faith and credit of Satoshi...

    Dog+ZZ are up to their usual malarkey. From the SSA website: By law, income to the trust funds must be invested, on a daily basis, in securities guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the Federal government. All securities held by the trust funds are "special issues" of the United...

    ZZ, SS is not a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation where the operator, an individual or organization, pays returns to its investors from new capital paid to the operators by new investors, rather than from profit earned by the operator. Operators of Ponzi schemes...
