Where did you get that little tidbit?

1. FoxNews
2. Rush Limbaugh
3. While you were in the SS office sucking off the government teat.
4. You made it up

(I figgered making it multiple choice would make it easier for you...if it's a different answer than one of those, feel free to expound).

I'm still trying to figure out what "analzin" means, just so I can keep up with the conversation.

AM, I do remember having all of the answers, all one had to do was ask me and I would surely tell them.It is not until we grew up did we realize just how much we did not know.

Hopefully nothing bad will happen to him as he grows up and he does not have to use those failed programs that cost his generation so much........

I bet that over 95% of the type of criminals who steal billions of dollars in Ponzi schemes, rape pension funds, destroy retirement funds, send entire markets into tailspins, and negatively affect the lives, liberties, and retirements of millions of people, not just in the US of A, but worldwide are...

1. Well over 40.

2. White.

3. Male.

These guys wreak more havoc in one month of their shenanigans than ten pissant drug dealers or social security frauds can wreak in their entire lifetimes, combined...times about 400 Zillion.

P.S. If we spent one month jailing as many of the criminals I described in my last post, and put as many of them in jail as we do to penny ante corner drug dealers or shoplifters, we'd actually do something about crime, and about crime that actually ruins the lives of millions of innocents.

Instead we don't even bother investigating .1% of them criminally, hardly ever even charge any of them with anything much less convict them, and when we do convict them we send them to country clubs with revolving doors where they can lounge by the pool, play golf, and continue with their theivery via cell phone.

There's a reason why our "war on drugs" and "war on crime" forget to go after these guys...these are the guys making the rules.

Many aren't "criminals"...but should be. Many are, but aren't treated like it...and overall a lot more lives are ruined by them than are ruined by drivebys and rapes.

Ruining a handful of lives every time someone is raped or murdered is pretty horrific...ruining millions of lives on a yearly basis is pretty horrific, too, especially when it mostly blamed on those millions of victims that it's their own damn fault.

I'm pretty sure neither of us is to blame...'cept for that part where you voted for Dumbya

I don't know what "kind" of problem it is...besides a fuckin huge kind...but they're definitely unethical greedy bastards who are all well over 40, male, and white.

Ok I'll bite....

1. Don't watch

2. Don't watch/listen to-or like

3. From dipchits (unemployed not unlike you) that state the same.

4. Don't need to because I don't live in my mommas basement.

If you think that SS disability is not abused by youngster-losers you've just lumped yourself as one.

Did expound enough? I typed slow as to help your profound stupidity.

PS---The FOX news/Rush Limbaugh angle may get a giggle outta' other dipchits like you but it shows that you've nothing else to argue. INOW you lose on the face of your 'contention'.

S. salar,

It started before the Boomers. The "Greatest Generation" was in charge when SS and Medicare began, and they conveniently taxed themselves at such low rates that the vast preponderance of what they've drawn on has been paid for by Boomers. The average member of the GG, if they lived to collect SS, got everything they paid in plus interest in a little over a year, and definitely less than two years of retirement. Yet they believe they have not lived in retirement on the dole. My mother, an 87 year old member of the GG, and a bookkeeper by trade, when presented with the data, doesn't believe it, and like most, insist that they are just receiving in SS what they contributed plus interest. Is it any wonder SS is on the brink and so touch and go for us Boomers, who began retiring 3 years ago?

As one of the Boomer exceptions who is analytical by nature, I readily admit that the Boomers, instead of launching and creating the Age of Aquarius, instead took our parent generation's example, and have magnified it. We have known for slightly more than 30 years about the SS and related problems and collectively have chosen to essentially ignore it, and exacerbate it.

I'm looking to retire in less than 3 years, and SS would be a little more than a third of my retirement income. But if the US is to attain fiscal solvency, it will necessarily become less, which does lead to some problems, but starvation won't be one of them. I anticipate the turnaround to come when a majority of the Boomers discover than a significant reduction in their SS benefits is a better alternative than running it over the edge and losing even more.

What's this thread about?

Trying to get a leg up on redhook this week, Chuck?

RvW, then how much of the SS costs do you think are really associated with 20-somethings who admit to you that they just do it for the oxycontin?

They really admit that to you?

That's at least 3/4 of the way to zing material, Mr. decider of zing.

That's true Aunty...they are also the ones we REFUSE to do business with. My partner and I will NOT enable their destructive lifestyle no matter how profitable it would be. I'd just as soon close up and do something else than I would aid in their self-destruction.

It's also not too difficult to recognize the signs and symptoms of the pie-eyed emptiness many exhibit. The sad trend that has become prescription addiction has broad reaching costs, not just to SS. There are, admittedly, some folks that aren't total wasteoids (yet) that we don't catch. It doesn't take long before a parent sadly explains the predicament to us. My heart breaks for them and the children they love.

Prescription addiction has no socio-economic implications like other drugs. We see rich kids, poor kids, white kids, black kids and asian kids. They all share one common denominator...they Dr. shop and work the disability angle. There are countless ruthless Drs that should burn in hell for what they're doing!

Hell odd you must be talking about some of the monied ones
behind the O guy. Guys like Soros and so forth.

I don't think the Koch brothers backed Obama.......

We don't care about all that Aunty, I am just glad to see Stihl Chainsaws is a sponsor to the site you posted the link on

Subsidies for sugar?GMAFB We all know without those subsidies there would be no more sugar since it's such a rare ingredient in our foods.

Poor sugar farmers...

I'd like to see virtually all farm subsidies chit-canned.

Wouldn't an end to sugar subsidies just encourage more use of subsidized high fructose corn syrup?
