That is NOT how the system was designed. You can't be serious! It was how it was designed which is why we have account numbers. Look at your card is says Social Security Account number. You are supposed to pay into it through out your life and then get it back when you retire with interest. If you die before it is paid back it goes into the pot t
I bet your parents received their Social Security. What enabled them to get that money were people like me paying Social Security Taxes that went up just about every year so they could receive their retirement. Don't you wish you understood the topic? You are supposed to pay into your own ss account. others are not supposed to pay your retiremen
I sight Facts that you and the other Bushies do not want to acknowledge. That does not make the facts I sight any less true! You are correct, the fact that we can't find these so called facts is what makes them seem less than true.
Iraq- 3,000 dead, 22,000 injured and 1/2 Trillion Dollars to create MORE enemies and make us LESS safe at home. Tell me of a war that did not have dead people involved. The fact that we have such low numbers of dead is more than amazing. <TD cla
They have been complaining about the fact that Congress failed to keep Social Security funds in a lock box. This is a very good point! An excelent point! The only problem with your point is the term lock box was something that showed up in the 2000 elections. Nice of you to blame the current President for the failure of the last President. I sha
What Bush is doing is taking the Surplus from Social Security to partially fund the annual budget deficit. When the Surplus is used the Treasury issues IOU's to Social Security for the Surplus used to partially offset the budget deficit. When Social Security needs that money to pay benefits in the future, the Treasury will either be forced to sell more bonds to refund the
Clinical Please explain.
yes, I've actually repeated this many times here on JU. Just about every culture has a flood story in their origins. I believe that it all comes from the story in Genesis and that this is a story of non fiction not fiction. I disagree with you my friend. I believe that each area was flooded out and each area saved what they could which would exp
Ok let me back up a bit. I got this from the history channel which is doing their Armageddon week. Every twisted way of ending the world will be presented this week. According to the Mayan calendar the world will come to an end on 21 December 2012. What do you think, should we cower in caves this day or just party like its 1999? Being an amateur astronomer I can see where they come up with that date as it is the time when the sun and the earth will align with the galactic center something that o
hopefully i'm not asking too much of someone capable of independently discovering this particular needle of an entry in an archival haystack comprised of all manner of stuff inserted into the record there on a daily basis by many of several hundred members of this specific session of congress. It appears that Baker Street answered the question.
What I am saying is that if we stop taxing Social Security Benefits we NEED to replace that lost revenue. I would like to see an end to taxing Social Security benefits. If we end the Bush tax cuts to the top 10% we could use some of that money to end the tax on Social Security Benefits. Where are you getting this? <TABLE cellpadding=8 w
In 2000 when the budget was balanced we were spending a similar amount on Education by the Federal Government. I can't remember a time since President Johnson screwed up the budget that is has been balanced. You say the budget was balanced in 2000. Where did you get your data? The data I have for 2000 shows an estimated budget loss not a balance
so is that how you located this rather obscure entry in a congressional record volume published when you were 8 years old? by going to the library? That is how I found it, but I just found it posted on a webpage a few days ago which is where I posted it from. Why do you ask? Or is it that you can't refute what was written so you wish to cause qu
The problem started when the West used the UN to partition that Palestine to create Israel on part of it. Both the Jews and the Palestinians will never be happy with half the land. both know that the land is theirs. and it is. Actually they were supposed to share the land.
The issue is that when the large number of Boomers retire, that 3.5 drops to 2.0. At that point in the future the taxes that will be paid by the 2.0 workers will only pay 75% of the benefits for the 1 retired person. What Bush proposed is to allow younger workers ( Not Boomers because they are too old to build a separate account) to set aside money that is promised to help
Biff sounds like a tough bloke though. Not really, more like a typical fighter jock of any military in the world.
Je le trouve difficile de croire cette histoire. S'il est vrai et il l'était sorti aurait ruiné le Président Bush dans son élection. C'est quelque chose que la pression américaine aurait a aimé faire.
how does bin laden remain in the wind after 5 years of being hunted by the world's most powerful nation utilizing the world's most advanced technology? Kingbee, How is it that people on the FBI 10 most wanted list are there for years without being caught? It must be the FBI wants them out there. My brother-in-law was on the list for 3 ye
The pilots take great pleasure in making people sick. I'm proud to say that I never passed out or "egressed" any Milk Duds. Yeah, I bet! lol The only ride I got to take was second seat in a blackbird. The take off is enough to make you wish you were sick. Blackbird dirvers are much nicer since if you egress in your helmet you can die from it.
there you were, diligently perusing each entry in congressional record volume 109 by day of session--and of course you were doin this at your local federal depository library cuz nothing older than volume 140 (1994) is available online--when you made your discovery? amazing find! i salute your scholarship. Kingbee, Not ama
Below is an article written by Rick Reilly of Sports Illustrated. He details his experiences when given the opportunity to fly in a F-14 Tomcat. If you aren't laughing out loud by the time you get to "Milk Duds," your sense of humor is broken. Someday you may be invited to fly in the back-seat of one of your country's most powerful fighter jets. Many of you already have. John Elway, John Stockton, Tiger Woods to name a few. If you get this opportunity, let me urge you, with the grea
...I'm thinking the fear of being beheaded on camera probably outweighs any "bad press" You miss the point, the beheadings are the bad press. We selfish Americans do not wish to die that way and it is our fault. We should be as happy as the Jews in WWII going into the gas chambers. Come one come all! What, that does not work for you?
If you cut Social Security taxes now as you suggest, Social Security would have to stop paying benefits to the current population that is retired. That would mean millions of retired would stop spending and the economy would end up in a Depression. You sir are an IDIOT! Ok, maybe I was not clear on this point I will try again. People on So
sorry I did not know.
If it were not for the abnormal number of people born after WWII, we would not be facing the shortfall in the future. Today we have about 3.5 people working and paying taxes for every person retired. That will drop to about 2 people working for every retired because of the Baby Boomers. The money collected from Social Security Taxes has been paid to those the law provided
